1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

Find the perimeter of each of the two non congruent triangles where a=15,b=20 and a=29
Alborosie

Answer:

b. about 63.9 units and 41.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In question ∠a= 29° and Side of a= 15 and b= 20

Using sine rule of congruence of triangle.

⇒ \frac{a}{sin A} = \frac{b}{sin B} = \frac{c}{sin C}

⇒ \frac{15}{Sin 29} = \frac{20}{sin B}

Using value of sin 29°

⇒ \frac{15}{0.49} = \frac{20}{sin B}

Cross multiplying both side.

⇒ Sin B= \frac{20\times 0.49}{15} = 0.65

∴ B= 41°

Now, we have the degree for ∠B= 41°.

Next, lets find the ∠C

∵ we know the sum total of angle of triangle is 180°

∴∠A+∠B+∠C= 180°

⇒ 29+41+B= 180

subtracting both side by 70°

∴∠C= 110°

Now, again using the sine rule to find the side of c.

\frac{b}{SinB} = \frac{c}{SinC}

⇒\frac{20}{sin41} = \frac{C}{sin110}

Using the value of sine and cross multiplying both side.

⇒ C= \frac{20\times 0.94}{0.65} = 28.92

∴ Side C= 28.92.

Now, finding perimeter of angle of triangle

Perimeter of triangle= a+b+c

Perimeter of triangle= (15+20+28.92)= 63.9

∴ Perimeter of triangle= 63.9 units
