The height of emperor penguin is 120 cm and height of galapagos penguin is 49 cm

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that The largest species of penguins is the emperor penguin. One of the smallest is the Galápagos penguin

<em><u>To find: height of each penguin</u></em>

From given question,

Let "e" be the height of emperor penguin

Let "g" be the height of galapagos penguin

Total height of two penguins = 169 centimeter

Therefore,

height of emperor penguin + height of galapagos penguin = 169

e + g = 169  ---- eqn 1

The emperor penguin is 22 centimeters more than twice the height of the Galápagos penguin

height of emperor penguin = 22 + 2(height of galapagos penguin)

e = 22 + 2g --- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

g = 169 - e ------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

e = 22 + 2(169 - e)

e = 22 + 338 - 2e

e + 2e = 360

3e = 360

<h3>e = 120</h3>

Thus from eqn 3,

g = 169 - 120

<h3>g = 49</h3>

Thus height of emperor penguin is 120 cm and height of galapagos penguin is 49 cm

Thus, the value of <em>k</em> is 90.

(b)

Label the employees from 1 to 4502.

And select every 90th employee.

So, the individuals who will be administered the survey are:

90th, 180th, 270th,...
