Number of votes won by A = p
Number of votes won by B = 35

Number of votes won by B are 125% of the number of votes won by A. So we can write that 35 is 125% of p. In equation form we can translate it as:

35 = 125% of p 
35 = 1.25 x p 
p = 35/1.25
p = 28

So the number of votes won be A are 28.

A sphere is inscribed in a cylinder. Use complete sentences and geometric formulas to compare the surface area of the sphere and
Papessa [141]

Answer:

1 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When a circle is inscribed in a cylinder, the height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere and the radius of the cylinder is same as that of the sphere.

Let the radius of sphere is r.

height of cylinder, h = 2r

radius of cylinder = r

Surface area of sphere, A = 4πr²

lateral surface area of cylinder, A' = 2 πrh

A' = 2πr x 2r = 4πr²

The ratio of surface area of sphere to the lateral surface area of cylinder is 1 : 1.
