Answer: 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "o" the number of orchestra seats they bought and "m" the number of mezzanine seats they bought.

Set up a system of equations:

$\left \{ {{42o+25m=486} \atop {o+m=14}} \right.$

You can apply the Substittution Method to solve the system of equations:

1. Solve for "o" from the second equation:

$o=14-m$

2. Substitute it into the first equation and solve for "m":

$42(14-m)+25m=486\\\\588-42m+25m=486\\\\-17m=-102\\\\m=\frac{-102}{-17}\\\\m=6$

3. Substitute the value of "m" into $o=14-m$ and evaluate, in order to find the value of "o". This is:

$o=14-6\\\\o=8$

Answer:

Yes, the shapes are similar. Note, the angles are equivalent and the sides are scales of each other satisfying the requirements for similarly.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a shape to be similar there are two conditions that must be met. (1) Must have equivalent angles (2) Sides must be related by a scalar.

In the two triangles presented, the first condition is met since each triangle has three angles, 90-53-37.

To test if the sides are scalar, each side must be related to a corresponding side of the other triangle with the same scalar.

9/6 = 3/2

12/8 = 3/2

15/10 = 3/2

Alternatively:

6/9 = 2/3

8/12 = 2/3

10/15 = 2/3

Since the relationship of the sides is the scalar 3/2 (Alternatively 2/3), then we can say the triangles meet the second condition.

Given that both conditions are satisfied, then we can say these triangles are similar.

Note, this is a "special case" right triangle commonly referred to as a 3-4-5 right triangle.

Cheers.

Ummm What? soooo what are you looking for? if N is 8 that means C is larger than four. if you want an equation then here you go.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

1

$A_1 = 67.58 \ in^2$

2

$A_2 =415.4 \ ft^2$

3

$A_3 = 8.48 \ cm^2$

4

$A_4 = 480.38 \ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the area of a sector is mathematically represented as

$A = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2$

Now at $r_1 = 11 in$ and $\theta_1 = 64^o$

$A_1 = \frac{64}{360} * 3.142 * 11^2$

$A_1 = 67.58 \ in^2$

Now at $r_2 = 20 ft$ in and $\theta_2 = 119 ^o$

$A_2 = \frac{119}{360} * 3.142 * 20^2$

$A_2 =415.4 \ ft^2$

Now at $r_3 = 6.5 cm$ and $\theta_3 = 23 ^o$

$A_3 = \frac{23}{360} * 3.142 * 6.5 ^2$

$A_3 = 8.48 \ cm^2$

Now at $r_4 = 14.2 m$ and $\theta_4 = 360 -87 = 273 ^o$

$A_4 = \frac{273}{360} * 3.142 * 14.2^2$

$A_4 = 480.38 \ m^2$
