Answer:

The similar triangles are \triangle BPE and \triangle BCG

BE = 321 and PE =286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for the required figure

Solving (a): The similar triangles

The similar triangles are \triangle BPE and \triangle BCG

Solving (b): Why they are similar

Both triangles are similar because \triangle BCG is dilated (i.e. enlarged) and then reflected to give \triangle BPE.

Solving (c): Calculate BE and PE

The following are equivalent ratios

BP: BC = BE : BG

and

BP: BC = PE : CG

Solving for BE, we have:

BP: BC = BE : BG

Substitute the known values

250:350 = BE:450

Express as fraction

\frac{250}{350} = \frac{BE}{450}

Multiply both sides by 450

450 * \frac{250}{350} = BE

321 = BE

BE = 321 -- approximated

Solving for PE, we have:

BP: BC = PE : CG

Substitute known values

250:350 = PE:400

Express as fraction

\frac{250}{350} = \frac{PE}{400}

Multiply both sides by 400

400 * \frac{250}{350} = PE

286 = PE

PE =286

  • Cricket = 55%
  • Football = 30%
  • Other games = Remaining (?)

So, the percent of people who like <u>other games</u> equals:

= 100 – (55 + 30)

= 100 – 85

= 15%

★ Cricket

= 60,00,000 × 55/100

= 33,00,000

★ Football

= 60,00,000 × 30/100

= 18,00,000

★ Other sports

= 60,00,000 × 15/100

= 9,00,000

Please help me with these two, and please explain how to do it. Thank you.

Answer:

So for number 1 we can use the trigonometry to find out the radius/diameter of the circle then we can use the formula to get the area then we divide by 2 because its half of a circle. So we can get that the cos(68) = 7/x x being the diameter. We then can multiply it by x on both sides. That gives xcos(68) = 7. So then we can do the inverse and get x = cos^-1(68)*7. That gives us approx 18.686 as the diameter, we can divide by 2 and get 9.343. So then we can use the formula which is A = pi*r^2. So that gives us 87.291*pi 274.233. Then if we divide by 2 we get 137.12 that is the answer to first question.

I was able to simplify it into the factored form for number 2.(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=sqrt(17))^2. Therefore using the circle equation formula we can determine that the center is 1,2. The radius is sqrt(17). We square it and we get 17. So that means that the area is pi*17. Then we get 51.407 as the area.

<h2><u>Answer to 1: 137.12 round to tenth and you get 137.1</u></h2><h2><u></u></h2><h2><u>Answer to 2: </u></h2><h2><u>Center: 1,2 </u></h2><h2><u>Area: 51.407.</u></h2>

4x-y=20 and -2x-2y=10
lara31 [8.8K]

You can use Substitution to solve this problem:


4x-y=20

-y=-4x+20

y=4x-20


Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.


y=4x-20     and     -2x-2y=10


-2x-2(4x-20)=10

-2x-8x+40=10

-10x+40=10

-10x=-30

-x=-3

x=3


Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.


4x-y=20       x=3

4(3)-y=20

12-y=20

-y=8

y=-8



<em><u>So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8</u></em>
