Answer:

number of boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 5 : 7

Sum of the ratio is 12

The total students in the class is 36 students which include girls and boys.

since the ratio of boys to girls is known the number of boys and the number of girls can be computed.

Total student = 36

number of boys = 5/12 × 36

number of boys = 5 × 3

number of boys = 15

The number of girls = 36 - 15 = 21

<span>We have to use PEMDAS for this expression.

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

</span>(2x^2 - 5x + 4)                    Original Mathematical Expression

[2(7)^2 - 5(7) + 4]                 Plugging the value of x, 7 into expression.

There are parentheses, so that means we have to work in them.

There are exponents, so we have to do those first.

[2(49) - 5(7) +4]                    Exponents.

There is multiplication, that we can do, so we do that left to right.

[98 - 35 + 4]                         Multiplication.

There is no division.

There is addition and subtraction, so we do those left to right.

[63 + 4]                                Subtraction.

67                                        Addition.

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, the measure of ∠H=71°, and JH = 2 feet. Find the length of IJ to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

IJ is 5.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the length of IJ

to Find IJ, we need the appropriate trigonometric ratio

The trigonometric ratio to use in this case is the one that connects the opposite and the adjacent

from the question, IJ is the opposite

This is the side facing the given angle

HI is the hypotenuse which is the side facing the right-angle

HJ is the third side which is the adjacent

Mathematically;

That is the Tan

Tan 71 = IJ/2

IJ = 2 Tan 71

IJ = 5.8
