he winner. Sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. No person in the audience was allowed to vote more than once. The equation below represents the situation, where Y is the total Number of votes cast and X is the number of votes my received.
x-62,500=0.25y

We know that Sally received the 25% of votes (i.e 1/4), which means that maya received the remaining 75% (i.e. 3/4) of votes.

So, if there was a total of 125000 votes, Maya received 3/4 of them:

125000 \times \dfrac{3}{4} = 93750.

In fact, you can check that Sally received

93750 - 62,500 = 31250

votes, which is indeed one quarter of the total:

31250 \times 4 = 125000

Answer:

a=31.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem states that square hypotenuse side is equal to square opposite side plus  square adjacent side

Hyp²= Opp²+Adj²

the opposite is represented by a in the question, so

60²=a²+51²

3600=a²+2601

combine the like terms

3600-2601=a²

999=a²

a²=999

square root both sides to remove the square

√a²=√999 {square cancels the square root

a=√999

a=31.606

a=31.61 approximately
