Answer:
20.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 +12^2 = 24^2
x^2 = 576 -144 = 432
x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm
The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.
So, let's first focus on the first year:
the population then would be: 23000* (100+2)%
100% is the old population the 2% is the incease, so in total it's 102%, or 1.02 - the same number written differently.
So it will be 23000*1.02
After two years it will be 23000*1.02*1.02, and so on
so after x years it will be:
y=23000*
The sliding pole is steeper. (rise/run) 5/3 (1.666) is greater than 3/2 (1.5).
Answer:
6 to 1
Step-by-step explanation:
4/2 is 2 and then divide that be 2 and its 1
24/2 is 12 and divide that by 2 and you get 6
