Remark

Not many per square mile. Sounds like an ideal place to live.

Step One

Find the number of Square Miles.

Area = Height * Width

Area = 380 * 200

Area = 76,000 square miles.

Step Two

Find the Density

<u>Formula</u>

Density = Population / Square Miles

Population = 814,000 people

Square miles = 76000

Solve

Density = 814000/76000 = 10.7 people per square mile.

Remark

Isn't that incredible. It means if all the Area of South Dakota were given to the people living there, each family of 4 would get roughly 1/2 a square mile.

Nik needs to estimate how many books will fit in a bin. Each book is 1 ft tall, 0.5 ft wide, and 0.1 ft thick. The bin is 5 feet
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

600 books

Step-by-step explanation:

The bin's dimensions are

5 by 2 by 3

THe volume of the bin is the multiplication of the 3 dimensions given.

Volume of Bin = 5 * 2 * 3 = 30 cubic feet

Now, volume of each book would be gotten the same way. The dimensions of one book is:

1 by 0.5 by 0.1

Volume of 1 book = 1 * 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 cubic feet

The number of books that will fit in the bin would be:

30/0.05 = 600 books

Complete the missing parts of the paragraph proof. Draw a perpendicular from P to AB. Label the intersection C. We are given tha
zvonat [6]
<span>1) We are given that PA = PB, so PA ≅ PB by the definition of the radius.

</span>When you draw a perpendicular to a segment AB, you take the compass, point it at A and draw an arc of size AB, then you do the same pointing the compass on B. Point P will be one of the intersections of those two arcs. Therefore PA and PB correspond to the radii of the arcs, which were taken both equal to AB, therefore they are congruent. 
 
2) We know that angles PCA and PCB are right angles by the definition of perpendicular.

Perpendicularity is the relation between two lines that meet at a right angle. Since we know that PC is perpendicular to AB by construction, ∠PCA and ∠PCB are right angles.
 
3) PC ≅ PC by the reflexive property congruence.

The reflexive property congruence states that any shape is congruent to itself.

4) So, triangle ACP is congruent to triangle BCP by HL, and AC ≅ BC by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). 

CPCTC states that if two triangles are congruent, then all of the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Since ΔACP ≡ ΔBCP, then the corresponding sides AC and BC are congruent.
 
5) Since PC is perpendicular to and bisects AB, P is on the perpendicular bisector of AB by the definition of the perpendicular bisector. 

<span>The perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into two equal parts (bisector) and that forms with the segment a right angle (perpendicular). Any point on the perpendicular bisector has the same distance from the segment's extremities. PC has exactly the characteristics of a perpendicular bisector of AB. </span>

What is the solution for x in the equation? -4 + 5x − 7 = 10 + 3x − 2x A.  B.  C.  D. 
laiz [17]

Answer:

x=21/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. combine like terms

-4+-7= -11  3x-2x=x

2. subtract x

5x-11=x+10

4x-11=10

3. add 11

4x=21

4. divide 21 by 4 = 21/4

A $55 pair of shoes was discounted 15 percent, making the sale price $46.75. The discounted price was then discounted again by 1
BigorU [14]
46.75 - 0.10(46.75) = 46.75 - 4.675 = 42.075 rounds to 42.08
ur simply taking ur discounted price of $ 46.75 and subtracting 10% of 46.75....leaving u with a final price of 42.08

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 15% followed by a 14% increase?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The single decimal multiplier that I will use to increase by 15% followed by a 14% increase is 1.311

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number

Remember that

100\%+15\%=115\%=115/100=1.15

100\%+14\%=114\%=114/100=1.14

we know that

Increase a number by 15% followed by a 14% increase is the same that multiply the number for (1.15)(1.14)

so

x(1.15)(1.14)=1.311x

therefore

The single decimal multiplier that I will use to increase by 15% followed by a 14% increase is 1.311
