The pie chart shows information about voters in an election. 2800 more women vote than men. Work out the total number of voters.
1 answer:
The picture in the attached figure
let
x--------> men voters
y-------> women voters
we know that
y=x+2800------> y-x=2800------> equation 1
step 1
find the percentage of women and men voters
in the graph
central angle by men voters=130°
central angle by women voters=(360°-130°)-------> 230°
by using proportion
men voters
%
women voters
%
remember equation 1
y-x=2800
so
F-M=63.89%-36.11%----> 27.78%
if 27.78% correspond to 2800 voters
100%---------------------->T
T=100*2800/27.78-------> T=10,079.19 voters
the answer is
about 10,079 voters

To solve this problem, we have to use the area of both gauze or the dimensions on each gauze and compare them. we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
<h3>Area of Rectangle</h3>The area of a rectangle is given as the product between the length and it's width.
Data;
- Length = 9in
- Area = 45in^2
- width = ?
- length 2 = 4in
- width 2 = 3in
In the first gauze, the area is given as 45in^2 and we have value of the length. To find the width of the first gauze can be calculated as
We can see that the width are not equal so is their length.
But if we would truly compare them, the accurate way to do that is by their area
The area of the second gauze is given by
From the above calculations, we can see that the sheets are not similar as they have different areas.
