By the Pythagorean theorem,
.. x^2 +(x -46)^2 = (x +4)^2
.. 2x^2 -92x +2116 = x^2 +8x +16
.. x^2 -100x +2100 = 0
.. (x -50)^2 -400 = 0
.. x = 50 ±20 . . . . . only x=70 makes any sense in the problem
The height, x, of the tree is 70 meters.
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
46.6 days
Explanation:
The general form for exponential growth is
, where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).
We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time. We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:
We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:
Divide both sides by p:
Using logarithms to solve this,
Answer:
6.72
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 = 0.625
To turn a decimal into a fraction, move the decimal point two spaces to the right.
0.625 = 62.5%
62.5% of the pieces are used for the background
Answer:
181 mi^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of large rectangle, on the left, are 6 mi by 8 m; area is 48 m^2;
Dimensions of small rectangle, in the middle of the diagram, are 4 mi by 5 mi, or 20 mi^2; area is 20 mi^2.
Dimensions of circle: r = 12 mi; area of quarter circle is (1/4)(3.14)(12 mi)^2, or 113 mi^2.
Total area is 113 mi^2 + 20 mi^2 + 48 mi^2, or 181 mi^2
