A population of 120 beetles increases at an annual rate of 30%. How many beetles will there be in 16 years? Write an expression to represent the equivalent monthly population increase rate.

Expression:

Beetles after 16 years: 7984 beetles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population increases 30% annually every year on the population size of that year, then we need to use a compound interest formula which would be the following

A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)

A = the future amount

P = the initial amount

r = the annual increase rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest/increase is compounded per unit t

t = the number of years

Using the values in the question the expression for this scenario would be the following

120(1 + (0.30 / 1))^(1*16)

7984.99

last option: rhombus or kite

step-by-step explanation:

a kite and rhombus have the same shape. as we don't have any specific formula for the calculation of area of kite. the diagonals are used to calculate the area of a kite or rhombus.

the formula for area of rhombus is given by:

here, d_1 is the first diagonal and d_2 is the second diagonal.

so,

last option is the correct answer ..
