Answer:

between 1hr 30 and 1hr 45

Step-by-step explanation:

10*2=20                                 15

20*2=40                                 30

40*2=80                                 45

80*2=160                                 60

160*2=320                                 1hr 15

320*2=640                                 1hr 30

In 90 minutes the population to grow to 700 organisms.

Given that,

A strand of bacteria has a doubling time of 15 minutes.

If the population starts with 10 organisms.

We have to determine,

How long would it take for the population to grow to 700 organisms?

According to the question,

A strand of bacteria has a doubling time of 15 minutes.

If the population starts with 10 organisms.

In 15 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 10 organisms.

\rm = 10 \times 2 = 20 \ bacteria

In 15 minutes 20 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 30 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 20 organisms.

\rm = 20 \times 2 = 40 \ bacteria

In 30 minutes 40 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 45 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 40 organisms.

\rm = 40 \times 2 = 80 \ bacteria

In 45 minutes 80 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 60 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 80 organisms.

\rm = 80 \times 2 = 160 \ bacteria

In 60 minutes 160 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 75 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 160 organisms.

\rm = 160 \times 2 = 320 \ bacteria

In 75 minutes 320 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 90 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 320 organisms.

\rm = 320 \times 2 = 640 \ bacteria

In 90 minutes 640 bacteria for the population to grow.

In 120 minutes strand of bacteria has a doubling time the population starts with 640 organisms.

\rm = 640 \times 2 = 1280 \ bacteria

In 120 minutes 1280 bacteria for the population to grow.

Hence, In 90 minutes the population to grow to 700 organisms.

Type the correct answer in the box.
statuscvo [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

V should be written as (1/3) pi r^2 h

V = (1/3) pi r^2 h multiply by 3

3V = pi r^2 h Divide by pi

3V/ pi = r^2 h Divide by r^2

3V / (pi *r^2 ) = h

A gardener uses a coordinate grid to design a new garden. The gardener uses polygon WXYZ on the grid to represent the garden. Th
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A square

36 square yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information:

W(3,3), X(-3,3), Y(-3,-3), and Z(3,-3)

So we need to graph those vertices and connect them in order.

(please have a look at the attached photo)

From the graph, it clear that the shape of the garden is a square.  

Then, we need to calculate the length of the four sides

<u>Find the length of the side YZ. </u>

The length of side YZ  =  3 + 3  =  6 yards  because point Y and Z are on the same line y = -3 so we just need to find the distance between their x coordinate

<u>Find the length of the side WZ.</u>

The length of side WZ  =  3 + 3  =  6 yards because point W and Z are on the same line x = 3 so we just need to find the distance between their y coordinate

=> the area of the square WXYZ:

= YZ*WZ

= 6*6

= 36 square yard.

NEED SOME HELP HERE!!
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

Given this,

(3x)² + (4x)² = 10²

9x² + 16x² = 100

25x² = 100

Divide both sides by 25

x² = 4

x = 2

Substitute this into 3x and 4x.

3x = 3 * 2 = 6

4x = 4 * 2 = 8

Thus, the answer is 6 and 8
