The New York City Council is comprised of 51 members to represent the 8.4 million residents living in the 5 boroughs. The number of city council members from each borough are proportional to the population of
each borough. The table below shows the approximate populations for each borough.
Borough
Population
The Bronx
1,400,000
Brooklyn
2,600,000
Manhattan
1,600,000
Queens
2,300,000
Staten Island
500,000
(a) Based on the NYC population, calculate the unit rate of people per City Council member. (Round to the
nearest whole number.)
NYC residents/City Council member
(b) How many City Council members should represent The Bronx? (HINT: Remember your answer must be a
whole number and you cannot round it up)
The Bronx should have
City Council representatives.
(b) How many City Council members should represent Staten Island? (HINT: Remember your answer must be
a whole number and you cannot round it up)
Staten Island should have
City Council representatives.

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
