An election was contested by 3 candidates. a got 345983 votes. his nearest rival, candidate b won elections by 15967 votes. candidate c got 279845 votes and 39823 votes were declared invalid. find total number of votes polled.

1,027,601 votes polled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We add up the votes:

 345983

+345983

 + 15967    ( Note Candidate B had 15967 more votes than candidate A).

+279845

+  39823

Total = 1,027,601 votes polled.

step-by-step explanation:

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
