Answer:

80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y

so

12x+9y=2544------------------1

x+y= 232------------------------2

from 2

x= 232-y

substitute the value of x in 1

12(232-y)+9y=2544

2784-12y+9y=2544

2784-3y=2544

3y= 2784-2544

3y=240

y= 240/3

y=80

put y= 80 in 2

x+80= 232

x= 232-80

x=152

Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Lines AC←→ and DB←→ intersect at point W. Also, m∠DWC=138° .
mr_godi [17]

m∠DWC=138°, ∠AWB = 138°, ∠AWD = 42°, ∠BWC = 42°

Solution:

Line \overrightarrow{A C} \text { and } \overrightarrow{B D} intersect at a point W.

Given m \angle D W C=138^{\circ}.

<em>Vertical angle theorem:</em>

<em>If two lines intersect at a point then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>

<u>To find the measure of all the angles:</u>

∠AWB and ∠DWC are vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, ∠AWB = ∠DWC

⇒ ∠AWB = 138°

Sum of all the angles in a straight line = 180°

⇒ ∠AWD + ∠DWC = 180°

⇒ ∠AWD + 138° = 180°

⇒ ∠AWD = 180° – 138°

⇒ ∠AWD = 42°

Since ∠AWD and ∠BWC are vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, ∠AWD = ∠BWC

⇒ ∠BWC = 42°

Hence the measure of the angles are

m∠DWC=138°, ∠AWB = 138°, ∠AWD = 42°, ∠BWC = 42°.
