Answer: 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.
Area = median · height
We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for <em>m</em>, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.
So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.
He can cut 5 squares, by making 1 4 × 4, 2 3 × 3 and 2 2 × 2 squares.
37.4 Gallons of gas should be your answer! Hope i helped!
Answer: E. The population decreased by 11% each year.
Step-by-step explanation: In A, the pollution increases at a constant rate, but in a linear way, in other words in each day, the pollution increases 10 grams; The same goes for C: ice "grows" a few milimeters each day; In D, as volume is calculated by the multiplication of π and its radius, the increase in the volume is still linear. In B, the proportionality is related to the power of the turbine not the growth or decay of it. In E, a population grows or decreases in a form of A=A₀(1±r)^t. In this case: A = A₀ (1-0.11)^t.
In conclusion, the function that better describes an exponential growth or decay is the decrease of a population.
