Answer:

Approximately the town´s population are 2285 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets name the total population of the town as x, so the percentage of the population that is over the age of 65 can be expressed as:

P_{+65}=0.14x

2. As there are 320 residens over the age of 65, means that the fourteen percent of the town´s population is equal to 14%, that is:

320=0.14x

3. Solving for x it can be found the town´s population:

x=\frac{320}{0.14}

x=2285people

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.7 m and a base with a circumference of 18.9 m. Round your answe
DochEvi [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Height of cone, h = 12.7 m

Circumference of base, C = 18.9 m

The base of a circular cone is circular. The circumference of circle is given by :

C=2\pi r

r is radius

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{18.9 }{2\pi}\\\\r=3\ m

The volume of a right circular cone is given by the formula as :

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.14 \times 3^2\times 12.7\\\\V=119.634\ m^3

Find the area of segment CFD given the following information: radius = 8in, area of ΔCBD = 25.9in2, and m∠CBD = 54° Round your a
Llana [10]

Answer:

A. 4.26 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of the sector DBC. Here we have to use the formula.

Area of a sector = Central Angle/360 *πr^{2}

The area of the sector DBC = (54/360)*3.14*8^{2}

= 30.16

Step 2: Area of segment CFD = Area of the sector DBC - Area of the ΔCBD

= 30.17 - 25.9

Area of segment CFD = 4.27in^2

Geoffrey is evaluating the expression StartFraction (negative 3) cubed (2 Superscript 6 Baseline) Over (Negative 3) Superscript
makkiz [27]

The mathematical expression does not seem clear but I have made an attempt to make sense of what is implied.

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 16, <em>d</em> = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = \dfrac{(2)^a}{(-3)^b} = \dfrac{c}{d}

Solving the first part of the question by indices,

\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = (-3)^{3-5}(2)^{6-2} = (-3)^{-2}(2)^{4} = \dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2}

Comparing the rightmost term with the second term in the question,

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2

Solving on,

\dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2} = \dfrac{(2)\times(2)\times(2)\times(2)}{(-3)\times(-3)} = \dfrac{16}{9}

Comparing with the final term in the question,

<em>c</em> = 16 and <em>d</em> = 9

Therefore,

<em>a</em> = 4, <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 16, <em>d</em> = 9
