The 300 students in a school athletics program will attend an awards banquet. A random survey of 50 of these students was conducted to determine how many of each meal should be prepared for the banquet. The results of the survey are shown. • 24 students want a barbeque meal.
• 16 students want a chicken meal.
• 10 students want a pasta meal.

Based on the survey results, which of these is the best prediction of the meals wanted by the 300 students?

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
