Population of Zimbabwe in 2003 = 12.6 million
which is 1 million more than 4 times the population in 1950 
<span>approximate population p of Zimbabwe in 1950 = ?
12.6 million = </span>12,600,000
and 1 million = 1,000,000

The equation becomes:

12,600,000=1,000,000+4p

where p is the population in 1950

now solve for p,

12,600,000-1,000,000=4p

11,600,000=4p

11,600,000/4=p

p=2,900,000

which is the population in 1950

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the
lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

s = \sqrt{A}.

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}

A rectangular prism has a volume of 170 cubic centimeters. The length of the prism is 5 centimeters, and the height of the prism
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The width of the prism is 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the prism = 170 cm³

The length of the prism = 5 cm

The height of the prism = 17 cm

The volume of the prism is given by the  relationship v = Length, l × Height, h × Width, w

Therefore;

The volume of the prism = 5 cm × 17 cm × w = 170 cm³

Which gives;

w = 170 cm³/(5 cm × 17 cm) = 170 cm³/(85 cm) = 2 cm

∴ The width of the prism = 2 cm.
