It was recently estimated that females outnumber males by about three or two. If there are 1770 people in a county, how many of

max2010maxim [7]

GIVEN

1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.

2) There are 1770 people in the city.

SOLUTION

Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:

$x+y=1770\text{ -----------(1)}$

If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \\ x=\frac{2y}{3}\text{ ----------(2)} \end{gathered}$

We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}y+y=1770 \\ \frac{2y+3y}{3}=1770 \\ 5y=1770\times3 \\ 5y=5310 \end{gathered}$

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

$y=1062$

There are 1062 females in the county.

Find the value of X. Write your answer in simplest form. What does X equal?

drek231 [11]

Given:

Given that the figure of similar triangles.

The altitude of the triangle is x.

The length of the left part is 30.

The length of the right part is 15.

We need to determine the value of x.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the geometric mean theorem.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{\text { left }}{\text { altitude }}=\frac{\text { altitude }}{\text { right }}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$\frac{30}{x}=\frac{x}{15}$

Cross multiplying, we get;

$30 \times 15= x^2$

$450=x^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we have;

$15 \sqrt{2}=x$

Thus, the value of x is 15√2

Use the Pythagorean theorem and the following diagram to help you find the area and perimeter of the following triangle. Please

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Perimeter = 30

Area = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x+8)^2 -x^2 = 12^2$

$x^2 +16x +64 - x^2 = 144$

$16x+64=144$

$16x = 80$

$x = 5$

Double check:

$\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = (5+8)\\\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13\\13 = 13$

Perimeter:

$12+5+13=30$

Area( $\frac{1}{2}bh$ ):

$\frac{1}{2}$ × 12 × 5 = 30
