In this question, it is given that the diagonal of the board is 18 inches long and one side of the board is 12 inches long.
Let the other side is of length b inches .
Now we use pythagorean identity, which is

Here, a = 12 and c=18
Substituting these values, we will get

And the formula of perimeter is

Substituting the values of the two legs, we will get

Remember that the difference between census and a sample survey is that in a census you take all the people of population in consideration in the study, and in the sample survey you take a part of that population in consideration to survey.
SO here if you check the problem it says that "in a recent poll, Pew reserchers found that 47% OF AMERICAN ADULT RESPONDENTS"
that is the population of the study that you want to focus, but there are a billion of american adult in US right? so its impossible that this company Pow Research made a census if you consider that a billion of people in US is almost infinite number for a company with a finite number of employees.
Also remember that a company has a budget to consider every month or every year, so to make a census or a sample survey it takes time and money, just to survey 10 people in a streeth of US cost money so if you want to reduce cost you might need to do a sample survey instead of a census.
Answer: 30.5 and 35.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.
x=y+5
x+y=66
Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5
