Answer:

E) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is no ordinary problem. It actually requires you to solve two different problems in order to figure out the correct answer.

First, we must figure out what the hypotenuse of the triangle is. We have the two small sides (5 and 12), but don't have the larger side. To find this, we must use the Pythagorean theorem: a^{2} + b^2 =c^2

Let's plug in our a and b values

5^2 + 12^2 = C^2

Simplify

144 + 25 = c^2

169 = c^2

Square both sides

c = 13

But sadly, we aren't done yet. Now we know the length of the whole hypotenuse side. Time to figure out what X is by a simple equation.

12x + 14x = 13

Simplify

26x = 13

Divide by 26

Answer is 1/2

X is equal 25 degrees. Line ac goes though the parallel lines. So bcd is x. Cdb is 180-50 equals 130. All angles add to 180. 180-130 equals 2X. So x equals 25.

Answer:

1900

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = total seats

the number of students that filled the theatre can be represented with this equation

0.45 x a = 855

divide both sides by 0.45

a = 855/0.45 = 1900
