ry from these two parties was
452, find the number of representatives from each party.

Solve the equation.

Interpret the results and write the answer in words.

The smaller piece is x = _ in.
The longer piece is _x = _ ( ) = _ in.
The lengths of the two pieces are _ in
and _ in.

Second question isn't well formatted

Answer:

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of republicans = x

Number of democrats = x + 38

Total number of representatives from the two parties = 452

Tge number of representatives from each party can be calculated thus ;

Number of democrats + number of republicans = total number of representatives

(x + 38) + x = 452

x + 38 + x = 452

2x = 452 - 38

2x = 414

x = 414 / 2

x = 207

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 207 + 38 = 245

The perimeter of a rectangular is 58 cm. The length is 5 more than twice the width.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

a) l = 5 + 2w

b) P = 2(l +w) = 2(5 +2w +w)

c) w = 8 cm, l = 21 cm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

a) Using w for width, twice the width is 2w, and 5 more than that is 5+2w. This is your expression for l:

... l = 5 + 2w

b) The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides, so is the sum of twice the length and twice the width.

... P = 2(l +w) = 2(5 +2w + w) . . . . substituting for l using the expression of (a)

c) Substituting the given perimeter, we have ...

... 58 = 2(5 +3w) = 10 + 6w . . . . . collect terms, eliminate parentheses

... 48 = 6w . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10

... 8 = w . . . . . . . . divide by 6

... l = 5 + 2·8 = 21 . . . . . find length using the formula for it

Dimensions are in centimeters, so we can write the solution as ...

  • width = 8 cm
  • length = 21 cm

Write a similarity statement comparing the three triangles in the diagram<br> P R S Q
REY [17]

Answer:

The answer is ΔJMK ≈ ΔMLK ≈ ΔJLM ⇒ answer (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets start with the equal angles i the three triangles

- In ΔJMK

∵ m∠JKM = 90°

∴ m∠KJM + m∠KMJ = 90 ⇒ (1)

- IN ΔMLK

∵ m∠MKL = 90°

∴ m∠KML + m∠KLM = 90° ⇒ (2)

∵ m∠KMJ + m∠KML = 90° ⇒ (3)

- From (1) , (2) , (3)

∴ m∠KJM = m∠KML

∴ m∠KMJ = m∠KLM

* Now lets check the condition of similarity in the 3 triangles

- At first ΔJMK and ΔMLK

- In triangles JMK , MLK

∵ m∠KJM = m∠KML

∵ m∠KMJ = m∠KLM

∵ m∠JKM = m∠MKL

∴ ΔJMK ≈ ΔMLK ⇒ (4)

- At second ΔJMK and ΔJLM

∵ m∠KJM = m∠MJL

∵ m∠KMJ = m∠MLJ

∵ m∠JKM = m∠JML

∴ ΔJMK ≈ ΔJLM ⇒ (5)

* If two triangles are similar to one triangle, then they are

similar to each other

- From (4) and(5)

∴ ΔJMK ≈ ΔMLK ≈ ΔJLM
