We first should find how 7 relates to the 21 girls.

To do this we can divide.

The 21 girls by the 7 ratio

21 divided by 7 is 3

So 1 out of 7 in the ratio is 3 girls

We can now move this over to the boys.

If 1 means 3, and their are a ratio of 5 boys

We do 5 x 3,

Which equal 15.

Their are 15 boys in 7th grade.

Hope this helps!

Find the value of x. A. 53–√ in B. 241−−√ in C. 55–√ in D. 9

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5√3 inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

${a}^{2} = {b}^{2} + {c}^{2}$

where a is the hypotenuse

Substitute the values into the above formula

The hypotenuse is 10 inches

We have

${10}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {x}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = 100 - 25$

${x}^{2} = 75$

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 5√3 inches</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the first two steps of the sequence of transformations,

$A(-4,-2) \longrightarrow (-2,-1) \longrightarrow (-2,1)$

We need to map this onto D(1,1), which involves a translation 3 units right.

Given the following sets.

svet-max [94.6K]

It looks like the ∩ sign may be missing from the question. If you mean to find A∩C, called the intersection, you're looking for elements that are both in A and C.

{0, 2} qualifies.
