n a survey about favorite fruits, 28 people chose apples, 17 chose oranges, and the rest chose pears. If 60 people were surveyed

nordsb [41]

Based on the number of people who chose the other fruits, the percentage of people who chose pears was <u>25%. </u>

<h3>Number of people who chose pears </h3>

= Number of participants - Number who chose apples - Number who chose oranges

= 60 - 28 - 17

= 15 people

<h3>Percentage who chose pears </h3>

= Number of people who chose pears / Total number of people x 100%

= 15 / 60 x 100%

= 25%

In conclusion, 25% chose pears.

Answer:

137

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of angle in a circle = 360°

105 + 118 + x = 360

223 + x = 360

x = 360 - 223

x = 137

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can U Answer All These.

<u>QUESTION 1</u>

In figure A, the area of the bigger square is $625\:units^2$ . This means that the length of this square is the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle formed, which is $25\:units$ .

The area of the two smaller squares are $576\:units^2$ and $49\:units^2$ .

The length of these two squares form the two shorter legs of the right angle triangle, which are $24$ and $7$ units respectively.

Therefore we can write the equation, $576+49=625$ .

This implies that, $24^2+7^2=25^2$

We can see that the sum of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the longer side which is the hypotenuse and this what the Pythagoras theorem says.

But in fig. B,

$5^2+4^2\ne 6^2$

Therefore the correct answer is Fig A.

<u>QUESTION 2</u>

See diagram.

We introduce the two lines as shown in the diagram.

From Pythagoras' Theorem,

$|AB|^2=|AC|^2+|BC|^2$

But $|AC|=|7-3|=4$ units.

and

$|BC|=|8-2|=6$ units.

This implies that,

$|AB|^2=4^2+6^2$

$|AB|^2=16+36$

$|AB|^2=52$

$|AB|=\sqrt{52}$

$|AB|=2\sqrt{13}$

$|AB|=7.2$ to the nearest tenth.

<u>QUESTION 3</u>

The numbers $3,4$ and $5$ form a Pythagorean triplet because $3^2+4^2=5^2$ .

If these numbers represent the side lengths of a triangular fence, then the triangular fence must be a right angle triangle.

The correct answer is B

Yes,because $3^2+4^2=5^2$ .

<u>QUESTION 4</u>

See graph.

We want to find the image of the triangle with vertices A(-5,-4), B(-2,-4), and C(-5,-1) after a reflection in the x-axis.

The mapping for this transformation is

$P(x,y)\rightarrow P'(x,-y)$ .

We just have to negate the y-coordinates.

$A(-4,-5)\rightarrow A'(-4,5)$ .

$B(-4,-1)\rightarrow B'(-4,1)$ .

$C(-5,-1)\rightarrow C'(-5,1)$ .

Kenny types 280 words. How long did he <br> type for?<br> A.4<br> B. 5<br> C.6<br> D. 7

zlopas [31]

Are you sure you didn’t miss anything while writing the question?

Cause we have nothing to go off. Everybody types differently so there is no way for us to say how long he typed for, unless we were given aprox how many words he wrote in a minute or something
