Answer:

-9,-21

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y and x>y

x-y=12

y=2x-3

x-(2x-3)=12

x-2x+3=12

-x=12-3

-x=9

x=-9

y=2(-9)-3=-18-3=-21

A boat is anchored 2.2 km due south of a lighthouse. Along the shore, the town of Beachton is 16.8 km due east of the lighthouse
Vesnalui [34]
First draw a right triangle using the lighthouse as reference. Draw a dot (lighthouse) draw a line downward (south) with 2.2 km measurement. Next, draw a line to the right of the lighthouse (16.8 km)

The two legs are 2.2 km and 16.8 km. To complete the statement, we need to solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle. 

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

Assign a = 2.2 km
            b = 16.8 km

so,

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

2.2^2 + 16.8^2 = c^2

Therefore, the value of c is 16.94 km.

Two similar pyramids have base areas of 12.2 cm2 and 16 cm2. The surface area of the larger pyramid is 56 cm2. What is the surfa
docker41 [41]

Given =

Two similar pyramid have base area of 12.2 cm² and 16 cm².

surface area of the larger pyramid = 56 cm²

find out the surface area of the smaller pyramid

To proof =

Let us assume that the surface  area of the smaller pyramid be x.

as surface area of the larger pyramid is 56 cm²

Two similar pyramid have base area of 12.2 cm² and 16 cm².

by using ratio and proportion

we have

ratio of the base area of the pyramids : ratio of the surface area  of the pyramids

\frac{12.2}{16} : \frac{x}{56}

x = 12.2 ×56×\frac{1}{16}

by solvingthe above terms

we get

x =42.7cm²

Hence the surface area of the smaller pyramid be 42.7cm²

Hence proved

There were 200 people who voted at the Town council meeting all these people 40% voted for a new basketball court in the park ho
galben [10]

Answer:

120 people voted against building the new basketball court.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 200 by 100 then you know how many people equal 1 percent of the 200. knowing that for every 2 people they are equal to 1 percent. so if you do 100 -40 you get 60. the 100 represents the 100 percent and you subtract 40 because these are the people who are voting for the basketball court. The 60 represents the percent of people who are voting against building the basketball court. then you multiply 60 by 2 and you get 120.
