Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement.  To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check:  Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5?  yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.

Quadrilateral $abcd$ is a trapezoid with $ab$ parallel to $cd$. we know $ab = 20$ and $cd = 12$. what is the ratio of the area o
alekssr [168]
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The area of triangle acb is
A₁ = (1/2)*20*h = 10h

The area of trapezoid abcd is
A₂ = (1/2)*(20+12)*h = 16h

The ratio A₁/A₂ is
A₁/A₂ = (10h)/(16) = 5/8

Answer:
The ratio of triangle acb to the area of trapezoid abcd is 5/8.

<h3>Answer: C) increase from 45 degrees to 50 degrees</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Let's calculate the angle B based off the arcs CDF and GHJ

B = (far arc - near arc)/2

B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2

B = (130 - 40)/2

B = 90/2

B = 45

----------

Now let's change GHJ to 30 degrees, while keeping the other arc the same.

B = (far arc - near arc)/2

B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2

B = (130 - 30)/2

B = 100/2

B = 50

Angle B has increased from 45 degrees to 50 degrees.
