Answer:

79 sociology textbooks and 138 biology textbooks

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations, where b is the number of biology books and s is the number of sociology books:

b + s = 217

b = s + 59

Solve by substitution by substituting s + 59 for b into the first equation:

b + s = 217

s + 59 + s = 217

Add like terms and solve for s:

2s = 158

s = 79

So, there were 79 sociology books. To find the number of biology books, substitute 79 in for s into the equation b = s + 59

b = s + 59

b = 79 + 59

b = 138

So, 79 sociology textbooks and 138 biology textbooks were sold.

List the angles of triangle ABC in order from smallest to largest measure if AB=9, AC=11, and BC=10
nadezda [96]
The angles go in the same order as the sides across from them.
AB is the smallest side so angle C is across from it.
BC is the middle length so angle A is the middle angle. AC is the longest side so angle B is the largest angle.

The accompanying diagram show a cross-section of a rectangular pyramid. The cross sectional area is 36in and is 3 inches from th
LiRa [457]

The area of the rectangular base is the amount of space on the rectangular base

The area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

<h3>How to determine the area of the rectangular base?</h3>

The question is incomplete; as the diagram is not given.

So, I will apply the concept of similar shapes to determine the area of the rectangular base

To determine the area of the rectangular base, we make use of the following equivalent ratio:

Ratio = Height : Area

This gives

3 : 36 = 5 : Area

Express as fraction

36/3 = Area/5

Evaluate the quotient

12 = Area/5

Multiply both sides by 5

Area = 60

Hence, the area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches
