Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of tickets sold for $25 and y be the amount of tickets sold for $40, since there are 6000 seats theatre then;

x+y = 6000 .............. 1

If x tickets cost $25 and y tickets are sold for $40 with total revenue of ​$174,000, then;

25x + 40y = ​174,000................ 2

From 1, x = 6000-y ............ 3

Substitute equation 3 into 2:

25x + 40y = ​174,000.

25(6000-y) + 40y = ​174,000

150,000-25y + 40y = 174,000

150,000+15y = 174,000

15y = 174,000-150,000

15y = 24,000

y = 24,000/15

y = 1600

Substitute y = 1600 into equation 3:

x = 6000-y

x = 6000-1600

x = 4400

<em>Hence 4400 $25 tickets and 1600 $40 tickets must be sold to generate a revenue of $174,000</em>

If side A is twice as long as B and C is 25 using the Pythagorean Theorem,What are the lengths of side A and B? Round to the nea
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

<u>The lengths of side A is 22.4 and B is 11.9</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

If side A is twice as long as B and C is 25 using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Now, to find the lengths of side A and B.

Let the side B be x.

So, the side A be 2x.

Side C = 25.

Now, to solve by using Pythagorean Theorem:

A² + B² = C²

(2x)^2+(x)^2=(25)^2

4x^2+x^2=625

5x^2=625

<em>Dividing both sides by 5 we get:</em>

x^2=125

<em>Using square root on both sides we get:</em>

x=11.18.

<u>B rounding to the nearest tenth =  11.9.</u>

Now, to get A by substituting the value of x:

2x\\=2\times 11.18\\=22.36.

<u>A rounding to the nearest tenth =  22.4.</u>

Therefore, the lengths of side A is 22.4 and B is 11.9.
