Answer:
227750
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that the rate of increase in population is linear, then in 4 years the increase in population is (224000 - 221000) = 3000.
So, the rate of increase in population is persons per year.
Now, we have to calculate the population of the town after an additional 5 years.
So, the population in 5 years will increase by (750 × 5) = 3750
Therefore, the population after an additional 5 years will be (224000 + 3750) = 227750. (Answer)
Answer:
The tree is 16.25 m tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Attached is a diagram that better explains the problem.
From the diagram we see that the distance between the top of the tree and the line of sight of the observer is x.
To find the height of the tree, we need to first find x and then add it to the height of the observers line of sight from the ground.
Using SOHCAHTOA trigonometric function:
tan(20) = x/39.2
=> x = 39.2 * tan(20)
x = 39.2 * 0.364
x = 14.27m
Hence, the height of the tree is:
(14.27 + 1.98)m
16.25m
The tree is 16.25 m tall.
