Nadia lives in the town of Preston. Quinn lives in the town of Elm Ridge. Nadia and Quinn each

claim that her respective town's population

is growing more rapidly.

Preston

Last Year 5,589 and this Year 5,702

ELM Ridge

Last Year 1,870

and this Year 1,926

ELM Ridge is growing at a faster rate

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the solution, we calculate the growth rate of both cities

Given :

Nadia : Preston

Population Last Year 5,589

This Year 5,702

Growth rate:

[(this year population - Last year population) / last year population] * 100%

[(5702 - 5589) / 5589] * 100%

(113 / 5589) * 100%

= 0.0202182 * 100%

= 2.02%

ELM Ridge

Last Year 1,870

This Year 1,926

Growth rate:

[(this year population - Last year population) / last year population] * 100%

[(1926 - 1870) / 1870] * 100%

(56 / 1870) * 100%

= 0.0299465 * 100%

= 2.994%

= 3%

your answer is d 2,500

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
