Answer:

The winner received 12,800 votes and the loser received 12,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divided the votes in half, then took 100 votes from the winner, defined W, and added 100 to the loser, defined L to give the Loser a lead of 200. Then switch 300 votes from the losers number to the winner. You'll end up with 12,800 and 12,400 and you can check by switching 300 voters from winner (12,800) to loser (12,400) to make the loser win by 200 votes. 12,800 and 12,400 also add up to 25,200.

The roof of a house seen from the front is an isosceles triangle \Delta ABC ΔABC with base 14.5 m and sides of length 8.5 m. Fin

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

4.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC). Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.

c² = a² + b²

(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²

h ≈ 4.4 m

Well you didn't post the expressions but let X be the amount of money for first place. This means X-50 would be the amount of second place because <span>each subsequent place after 1st wins $50 less than the previous place. Thirds, would be X-50-50 or X-100

Thus the total amount of money would be all of the values combined which is X+X-50+X-100=3X-150

Suppose you have 20 coins that total $3.00. Some coins are nickels and some are quarters. Which of the following pairs of equati

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n + q = 20

.05n + .25q = 3.00

5n + 25q = 300

n + q = 20

5n + 25q = 300

-5n - 5q = -100

20q = 200

q = 10 quarters

n + 10 = 20

n = 10 nickels

(10 nickels, 10 quarters)

Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle) Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° tria

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

(C)Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle)

To Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times the length of each leg.

Proof:

$\angle XYZ$ is 90^\circ$ and the other 2 angles are 45^\circ. \\\overline{XY} = a, \overline{YZ}= a, \overline{XZ}= c.\\$

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Since a=b in an isosceles triangle:

$a^2 + a^2 = c^2\\$Combining like terms\\2a^2 = c^2\\$Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.\\\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{2a^2} \\\\c=a\sqrt{2} \\$

Therefore, the next step is to Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.
