Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750

A triangular pyramid is formed from three right triangles as shown below.
Lady bird [3.3K]

ΔADC is a right angle triangle, we will use the Pythagorus Theorem to find the length CD.

Formula of the Pythagorus Theorem :  

⇒ a² + b² = c²

⇒ AD² + CD² = AC²

The value of AD is 54 and the value of AC is 90:

54² + CD² = 90²

Solve for CD:

54² + CD² = 90²

CD² = 90² - 54²

CD² = 5184

CD = √5184

CD = 72

ΔADC is also a right angle triangle, we will use the Pythagorus Theorem to find the length BD.

Formula of the Pythagorus Theorem :  

⇒ a² + b² = c²

⇒ BD² + CD² = BC²

The value of CD is 72 and the value of BC is 97:

BD² + 72² = 97²

Solve for BD:

BD² = 97² - 72²

BD² = 4225

BD = √4225

BD = 65

Answer: The length of BD is 65 units.

Can someone plz help me with #1, #2,#3,#4?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1: 152

2: 152

3: 152

4: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

1-3: They are all congruent. So if you look at the given angle, it is the same as 1-3.

4: This one is tricky. Since a straight line is 180, you have to subtract 180-152.

Hope this helps!
