They are asking for managers so 996 of them are there, 25% are managers

Change the percent to a decimal (divide the percent number by 100)

You get 0.25

So multiply 996 by 0.25

You get 249

So there are <u>249 managers at the meeting</u>

Find MZP. The diagram is not to scale.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

p= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle that measures 130 is supplementary to the angle below, meaning the other angle must equal 50 degrees. This angle is an alternate interior angle with angle p, making them congruent.

If the length of AO is double the length of CO, the length of BO is?

andreev551 [17]

BO is double that of DO. In other words, BO is two times longer than DO. The answer is choice B

For example, if DO were 3 units long, then BO would be 6 units long (2*3 = 6). This works because the triangles DCO and BAO are similar triangles. The corresponding sides are in the same ratio or proportion to one another. The larger triangle (BAO) has sides that are twice as long as the smaller triangle's (DCO) corresponding sides.

Side note: we can prove the triangles to be similar using the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem. The first pair of angles are the vertical angles DOC and BOA which are congruent to each other.The second pair is CDB and ABD which are congruent by the alternate interior angle theorem.
