over the past ten years, the towns population doubled in size. the population is currently 12,000. what was the population ten years ago?

which of the following represents the given word problem if “P” represents the population ten years ago?
1. P=2(12,000)
2. 2P=12,000
3. 2(P+10)=12,000

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If P represents the population ten years ago, the current population can be expressed as: 2P = 12,000 (or: 2 x 6,000 = 12,000). Over the past ten years, the town's population doubled in size. The population is currently 12,000. Therefore the population ten years ago was 12,000 divided by 2 = 6000.

The measure of the side length (that is hypotenuse) of the right-angle triangle will be √202 units.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

Let the missing side of this right triangle be х.

Then the measure of the side length (that is hypotenuse) of the right-angle triangle will be

x² = 9² + 11²

x² = 81 + 121

x² = 202

 x = √202

An isosceles triangle has two congruent side lengths of 20 centimeters. The base of the triangle is 10 centimeters. Find the height of the
isosceles triangle

(Use the Pythagorean Theorem & DONT GIVE ME THE ANSWER, I JUST WANT THE EQUATION) Thx :)

Answers

Answer:

(half of base)² + (height)² = (20)²

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the angle bisector from the 3rd angle to the opposite side is a perpendicular bisector, so you split the isosceles triangle into two congruent right triangles.

This technique of 'splitting the isosceles' is used a LOT.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used for the purpose.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((2 -(-5))² +(0 -4)²) = √(7² +(-4)²) = √(49 +16)

The variables x and y are proportional. Use the values to find the constant of proportionality. Then write an equation that relates x and y.
When y=72 and x=3.

K = ?

y = ?

Answers

Answer:

k = 24, y = 24x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x and y are proportional then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition when y = 72, x = 3 , then

72 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

k = 24

y = 24x ← equation of proportion

What is the probability of rolling a 3 on a six-sided cube AND rolling a 6 on a six-sided cube?
ob

Answers

Answer:

The probability of not rolling a 5 AND not spinning a 5 is (5/6)*(4/5)=20/30

Step-by-step explanation:

These are independent events.

The probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.

The probability of spinning a 5 is 1/5.

The probability of rolling a 5 or spinning a 5 is 1/5+1/6=11/30 but you have to subtract 1/30 because you can roll a 5 and spin a 5 at the same time. Therefore 11/30-1/30=10/30=1/3.

There are 30 outcomes. Roll first then spin to get the following outcomes:

11,12,13,14,15,21,22,23,24,25,31,32,33,34,35,41,42,43,44,45,51,52,53,54,55,61,62,63,64,65

You want to roll a 5 OR spin a 5. How many combinations have a 5 ? 10 combinations have a 5.

(you don't count 55 twice) There are 10 combinations with a 5 out of a possible 30 combinations.

Another way of looking at the problem is the following:What is the probability of NOT rolling a 5 AND NOT spinning a 5 ?

The probability of not rolling a 5 AND not spinning a 5 is (5/6)*(4/5)=20/30. Therefore the probability of rolling a 5 or spinning a 5 is 1-20/30=10/30.

Answer:

16.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 sides and one three on the cube so rolling a three would be 1/6. To roll a 6 on a 6 sized dice would be the same there’s 6 sides and one 6 so it would be 1/6
