Answer:
3.528
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to determine the scale factor. Divide one side in the larger triangle by the corresponding side in the smaller triangle. For example, 8/2. This would give you a scale factor of 2. Then you can reverse the process with the dimensions you need to get the area. The height of the larger triangle is 3.36, so to find the height of the smaller one, you divide it by 2, or the scale factor, to get the height of the smaller triangle which is 1.68. Next, you can solve for area of triangle using a=bh/2, so 4.2*1.68/2=a = 3.528.

You can see how this works by thinking through what's going on.
In the first year the population declines by 3%. So the population at the end of the first year is the starting population (1200) minus the decline: 1200 minus 3% of 1200. 3% of 1200 is the same as .03 * 1200. So the population at the end of the first year is 1200 - .03 * 1200. That can be written as 1200 * (1 - .03), or 1200 * 0.97
What about the second year? The population starts at 1200 * 0.97. It declines by 3% again. But 3% of what??? The decline is based on the population at the beginning of the year, NOT based no the original population. So the decline in the second year is 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97). And just as in the first year, the population at the end of the second year is the population at the beginning of the second year minus the decline in the second year. So that's 1200 * 0.97 - 0.03 * (1200 * 0.97), which is equal to 1200 * 0.97 (1 - 0.03) = 1200 * 0.97 * 0.97 = 1200 * 0.972.
So there's a pattern. If you worked out the third year, you'd see that the population ends up as 1200 * 0.973, and it would keep going like that.
So the population after x years is 1200 * 0.97x
(-4, 6), (0, 2), (4, -2) are all ordered pairs that have the sum as 2.
-4+6 is the same thing as 6-4 if there's more positive than negative
0+2=2 because 0 plus a number equals to that number
4-2=2 because you're adding a negative number with the positive number together to get the answer
Just be aware that I might not make any sense at all
