Answer: 59,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 10,000 residents, 17,000 police officers are hired

The ratio of Police officers and citizens is constant

So, for 35,000 citizens suppose x officers are hired

\Rightarrow \dfrac{17,000}{10,000}=\dfrac{x}{35,000}\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.7\times 35,000\\\\\Rightarrow x=59,500

Thus, 59,500 officers are required.

Find the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A=(1,1) B=(4,4) C=(7,1) D=(4,-2). Explain your answer.​
Vanyuwa [196]

we have the coordinates of ABCD

there are 2 ways of doing this one is you find the distance of ab, bc, cd and da and then add the answers together. there is another way but i dont remember it properly so i am just gonna do it this way

distance between 2 point = \sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}

AB

d = \sqrt {(4 - 1)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}

d = \sqrt {(3)^2 + (3)^2}

d = \sqrt {9 + 9}

d = \sqrt 18

AB = 4.24

now repeat the same with all

BC= 4.24

CD= 4.24

DA= 4.24

so its a square with all the same sides so perimeter is 4 x 4.24

perimeter is 16.96

hope this helps

Please hurry find the measure of P
Inessa [10]

Answer:

m∠P  = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two interior angles of equal measure.

Sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°

If QO ≅ PQ and the enclosed m∠Q = 50° then m∠P ≅ m∠O

⇒ m∠Q + m∠P + m∠O = 180

⇒ 50 + m∠P + m∠O = 180

⇒ m∠P + m∠O = 130

As m∠P ≅ m∠O:

⇒ m∠P  = 130 ÷ 2 = 65°
