Answer: 60 girls
If the ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 6, it can be written as 5/6. You can use cross multiplication to figure out how many girls there are if there are 72 boys by setting the number of girls equal to x and dividing it by 72 like so: \frac{5}{6}= \frac{x}{72}

After multiplying 5 and 72, and 6 and x, you get the equation 360=6x. To find the number of girls, all you have to do is divide by 6, which leaves you with x=60, meaning there are 60 girls when there are 72 boys based on the ratio 5:6 (girls to boys).

The measure of <TRS and angle d are 70 and 43degrees respectively

<h3>Triangles and angle</h3>

The given triangles are isosceles triangles since they have two equal sides.

14) From he triangle RST

<TRS + 90 + 20 = 180

<TRS + 110. = 180

Subtract 110 from both sides

<TRS = 180 -110

<TRS = 70 degrees

15) For this triangle;

d = 86/2

d = 43 degrees

Hence the measure of <TRS and angle d are 70 and 43degrees respectively
