Mathematics

Answer:

100 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys : girls is 2 : 5.

In other words, boys are 2 parts of the school while girls are 5 parts of the school.

Since there are 40 boys, 2 parts of the school is 40. Thus:

2p = 40\\p = 20

1 part is 20.

Since there are 5 parts girls, there are

5p = 5*20 = 100

100 girls.

Answer: 100 girls

-8p^2+8p+7=9<br> how do i find the discriminant
m_a_m_a [10]
The discriminant can be found using the formula b^2-4ac 

First put your equation in standard form, where all your values are on one side, and just add f(x) or y in front of your equation. 
y= 8p^2-8p+2

The first value of your equation is a   (a=8)
The second term of your equation is b  (b=-8)
The last term of your equation is c  (c=2)

Plug in the values to the discriminant equation b^2-4ac

Prove how they are congruent. Geometry:SSS
Andrej [43]

The <em>additional information</em> needed to prove that both triangles are congruent by the SSS Congruence Theorem would be: <em>C. HJ ≅ LN</em>

<em>Recall:</em>

  • Based on the Side-Side-Side Congruence Theorem, (SSS), two triangles can be said to be congruent to each other if they have three pairs of congruent sides.

Thus, in the two triangles given, the two triangles has:

  • Two pairs of congruent sides - HI ≅ ML and IJ ≅ MN

Therefore, an <em>additional information</em> needed to prove that both triangles are congruent by the SSS Congruence Theorem would be: <em>C. HJ ≅ LN</em>

Find the arc length of the semicircle. 7the grade
charle [14.2K]

so, is a semi-circle, half a circle, recall a circle has a total of 360°, so half of that will be 180°.

the diameter of that circle is 10, so its radius is half that, or 5.


\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\ s=\cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \theta =angle~in\\ \qquad degrees\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ \theta =180\\ r=5 \end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{(180)(\pi )(5)}{180}\implies s=5\pi \stackrel{\pi =3.14}{\implies s=15.7}
