Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

90° clockwise rotation or 270° anticlockwise rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)=(y,-x)

<em>E(-6,-4)=E'(-4,6)</em>

<em>F(-4,-4)=F'(-4,4)</em>

<em>G(-2,-6)=G'(-6,2)</em>

<em>H(-7,-7)=H'(-7,7)</em>

Therefore, E prime is (-4,6), F prime is (-4,4), G prime is (-6,2) and H prime is (-7,7).

In triangle $ABC$, let angle bisectors $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at $I$. The line through $I$ parallel to $BC$ intersects $AB$ and
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

If you work through a series of obscure calculations involving area and the radius of the incircle, they boil down to a simple fact:

... For MN║BC, perimeter ΔAMN = perimeter ΔABC - BC = AB+AC

.. = 17+24 = 41

_____

Wow! Thank you for an interesting question with a not-so-obvious answer.

_____

<em>A little more detail</em>

The point I that you have defined is the incenter—the center of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Its radius is the distance from I to any side, such as BC, for example.

If we use "Δ" to represent the area of the triangle and "s" to represent the semi-perimeter, (AB+BC+AC)/2, then the incircle has radius Δ/s. The area Δ can be computed from Heron's formula by ...

... Δ = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) . . . . where a, b, c are the side lengths

For this triangle, the area is Δ = √38480 ≈ 196.1632 units². That turns out to be irrelevant.

The altitude to BC will be 2Δ/(BC), so the altitude of ΔAMN = (2Δ/(BC) -Δ/s). Dividing this by the altitude to BC gives the ratio of the perimeter of ΔAMN to the perimeter of ΔABC, which is 2s.

Putting these ratios and perimeters together, we get ...

... perimeter ΔAMN = (2Δ/(BC) -Δ/s)/(2Δ/(BC)) × 2s

... = (2/(BC) -1/s) × BC × s = 2s -BC

... perimeter ΔAMN = AB +AC
