Answer:

<em>There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the variables:

L = number of ladies in the conference

G = number of gentlemen in the conference

We know 340 people participated in the conference, thus:

L + G = 340         [1]

We are also given the ratio of ladies and gentleman as 3:2, thus:

L/G = 3/2

Cross-multiplying:

2L = 3G        [2]

From [1]:

L = 340 - G

Substituting in [2]:

2(340 - G) = 3G

Operating:

680 - 2G = 3G

5G = 680

G = 680/5 = 136

G = 136

L = 340 - 136 = 204

L = 204

There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference

The perimeter of a triangle is 170 ft and the sides are in the ratio of 25:14:12. Find the area of the triangle
EastWind [94]

using the ratio, the length of the sides are:

25x + 14x + 12x = 170

51x = 170

x = 170 / 51

x = 3 1/3

The lengths of the sides are: 25 * 3 1/3 = 83 1/3 feet

14 x 3 1/3 = 46 2/3 feet

12 x 3 1/3 = 40 feet

Using Heron's formula

the semi perimeter (S) = 170/2 = 85 ft.

The area of the triangle = SQRT(S*(S-83 1/3) * (S - 46 2/3) * (S-40))

= SQRT (85 * (85-83 1/3) * (85 - 46 2/3) * (85-40)

= SQRT (85 * 1 2/3 * 38 1/3 * 45)

= SQRT(244374)

= 494.34 square feet ( round answer as needed).

PLEASE HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND THANK YOU!!!
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick here is knowing that JKM and MKL are equal, which means MKL is equal to JKL/2. From that knowledge, we can solve.

MKL = JKL/2

5x + 1 = 46

5x = 45

x = 9
