S = pr² + prs

s = p(r² + rs)

p(r² + rs) = s

p = s / (r² + rs)

$S=pr^2+ prs\\
p(r^2+rs)=S\\
p=\dfrac{S}{r^2+rs}$

Answer:

$\text{Exact: }AB=25\sqrt{6},\\\text{Rounded: }AB\approx 61.24$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Law of Sines to find segment AD, which happens to be a leg of $\triangle ACD$ and the hypotenuse of $\triangle ADB$ .

The Law of Sines states that the ratio of any angle of a triangle and its opposite side is maintained through the triangle:

$\frac{a}{\sin \alpha}=\frac{b}{\sin \beta}=\frac{c}{\sin \gamma}$

Since we're given the length of CD, we want to find the measure of the angle opposite to CD, which is $\angle CAD$ . The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. Thus, we have:

$\angle CAD+\angle ACD+\angle CDA=180^{\circ},\\\angle CAD+60^{\circ}+75^{\circ}=180^{\circ},\\\angle CAD=180^{\circ}-75^{\circ}-60^{\circ},\\\angle CAD=45^{\circ}$

Now use this value in the Law of Sines to find AD:

$\frac{AD}{\sin 60^{\circ}}=\frac{100}{\sin 45^{\circ}},\\\\AD=\sin 60^{\circ}\cdot \frac{100}{\sin 45^{\circ}}$

Recall that $\sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and $\sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ :

$AD=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot 100}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}},\\\\AD=\frac{50\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}},\\\\AD=50\sqrt{3}\cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}},\\\\AD=\frac{100\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot\frac{ \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{100\sqrt{6}}{2}={50\sqrt{6}}$

Now that we have the length of AD, we can find the length of AB. The right triangle $\triangle ADB$ is a 30-60-90 triangle. In all 30-60-90 triangles, the side lengths are in the ratio $x:x\sqrt{3}:2x$ , where $x$ is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle and $2x$ is the length of the hypotenuse.

Since AD is the hypotenuse, it must represent $2x$ in this ratio and since AB is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle, it must represent $x$ in this ratio (Derive from basic trig for a right triangle and $\sin 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}$ ).

Therefore, AB must be exactly half of AD:

$AB=\frac{1}{2}AD,\\AB=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 50\sqrt{6},\\AB=\frac{50\sqrt{6}}{2}=\boxed{25\sqrt{6}}\approx 61.24$

Sati [7]

35 students would not know any of the three languages, because if 30 know French, 19 knew German, and 16 knew Russian, that must mean that 65 students know at least one of the three languages. So you subtract 65 from 100 and end up with 35
