Answer:60 male staff

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there are 96 female staff. The ratio of male to female is 3:4. We’re going to use a proportion which looks like this. 3/4 = x/96. X is a variable that takes the place of the male staff since we don’t know what it is. Now, the question is what do we do to get from 4 to 96. So 96/4 = 24, so 4 x 20 = 96. To keep this ratio equivalent whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom so 4 x 20 = 96 and 3 x 20 = 60. So there are 60 male staff.

A circle has center at –6 + 2i and a point on the circle at 4 + 26i. Which of the following points is also on the circle?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:
–16 – 22i
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of the circle = 4 + 26i - (-6 + 2i)
= 10 + 24i.
The radius will be the absolute values of this |10 + 24i|.

If a point is on the circle then it's distance from the centre must be 10+ 24i.
-19 + 15i - (-6 + 2i) = -13 - 13i , so this is not on the circle.
-16 - 22i - (-6 + 2i) = -10 - 24i = |10 + 24i| , so this is on the circle.
5 + 16i - (-6 + 2i) = 11 + 14i , so this is not on the circle.
20 - 24i - (-6 + 2i) = 26 - 26i. so this is not on the circle.
