Answer:

length of each side : 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

all sides of squares are equal

thus, 4 sides = 40 cm

1 side = 40/10 cm

1 side = 10 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula of the perimeter of a square = 4 × (length of any one side)

we use the inverse formula

40 : 4 = 10 cm

Find the area of the composite figure

ehidna [41]

The figure is a trapezoid, albeit not possessing the same lengths for the left and right sides. If I'm not mistaken, it has another name or term. But I forgot.

Anyway, to solve the problem, let us chop-chop or break the figure into two parts or two polygons that we are familiar with - a rectangle and a triangle. See the attached image for a clearer presentation.

After breaking the original polygon into two parts as portrayed by the red broken line, we are also going to divide the equivalent value of each side.

Remember, a rectangle has two pairs of common sides. Since the upper side of the polygon has a length of 10 cm, then, the length of the lower side (the side at the left side of the broken line) is 10, too. The same goes for the length of the left side which is 5 cm, and therefore the length of the broken line is 5 cm. Please refer to the attached image, particularly the figures in green.

From the standpoint of the triangle, based on thee figure, it has a height of 5 cm and a base of 5 cm (15 cm- 10 cm). Did you get it? If yes, let's continue.

Solving Time! :D

1. Solve for the area of the rectangle.

$\begin{gathered}A_{rectangle}=L\times W\\=5\ cm \times 10\ cm\\=\bold{50\ cm^2}\end{gathered}$

Arectangle=L×W=5 cm×10 cm=50 cm²

2. Solve for the area of the triangle.

$\begin{gathered}A_{triangle}=\dfrac{b\times h}{2}\\=\dfrac{5\ cm\times5\ cm}{2}\\=\dfrac{25\ cm^2}{2}\\=\bold{12.5\ cm^2}\end{gathered}$

Atriangle=2b×h=25 cm×5 cm=225 cm²=12.5 cm²

3. Combine (add) the two areas to find the area of the original figure.

$\begin{gathered}A_{composite\ figure}=A_{rectangle}+A_{triangle}\\=50\ cm^2 +12.5\ cm^2\\=\bold{62.5\ cm^2}\end{gathered}$

Acomposite figure=Arectangle+Atriangle=50 cm²+12.5 cm2=62.5 cm

Suppose a population of honey bees in Ephraim, UT has an initial population of 2300 and 12 years later the population reaches 13

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

common ratio: 1.155

rate of growth: 15.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The model for exponential growth of population P looks like: $P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t$

where $P(t)$ is the population at time "t",

$P_i$ is the initial (starting) population

$(1+r)$ is the common ratio,

and $r$ is the rate of growth

Therefore, in our case we can replace specific values in this expression (including population after 12 years, and initial population), and solve for the unknown common ratio and its related rate of growth:

$P(t)=P_i(1+r)^t\\13000=2300*(1+r)^{12}\\\frac{13000}{2300} = (1+r)^12\\\frac{130}{23} = (1+r)^{12}\\1+r=\sqrt[12]{\frac{130}{23} } =1.155273\\$

This (1+r) is the common ratio, that we are asked to round to the nearest thousandth, so we use: 1.155

We are also asked to find the rate of increase (r), and to express it in percent form. Therefore we use the last equation shown above to solve for "r" and express tin percent form:

$1+r=1.155273\\r=1.155273-1=0.155273$
