How many males and how many females would there be if the total enrollment is 15000?

Ratio is 

  90 males      15000 - x
  ------------- = ---------------
   125 fem              x

Then 90x = 1875000 - 125x, or 215x = 1875000

                                                      x = approx 8720 females
                       and 15000-8720, or 6279 males

If every male finds a dance partner, that would leave (8720-6279) females, or 2440, without dance partners.  ;(

Check:  is the male:female ratio near 90:125?

Is 6279:8720 approx equal to 90:125?

Yes.  0.72 (approx) = 0.72 (approx).

I need help with these two problems. [9 and 10] FORMULAS GIVEN!!
zaharov [31]
<h2>Question 9:</h2>

1. Use Pythagorean Theorem (a²+b²=c²) to solve for missing side of triangle and rectangle. x²+16²=20², or x²+256=400. So, x²=144, and x=12

2. Use formula: 1/2(h)(b1+b2). 1/2 (12) (30+14).

3. Simplify: 1/2 (12) (44)=1/2(528)=264

Area of whole figure is 264 square mm.

<h2>Question 10:</h2>

Literally same thing but with trigonometry.

1. Use sine to find out length of dotted line: sin(60°)=x/12

2: Simplify: 12*sin(60°)=x. x≈10.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

3. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find out last leg of triangle: 10.4²+x²=12²

4: Simplify: 108.16 +x²=144. x²=35.84 ≈ 6

5: Use formula: 1/2(h)(b1+b2). 1/2 (10.4) (30+36)

6: Simplify: 1/2 (10.4) (66) =343.2

7: Area of figure is about 343.2

Remember, this is an approximate answer with rounding, so it might not be what your teacher wants. The best thing to do is do it yourself again.
