Boys : Girls = 2:7
let the no. of boys be x
so no of girls = 250+x
so, x:(250+x) = 2:7
x/(250+x) = 2/7
7x = 500+2x
7x-2x = 500
x = 500/5 =100

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

<h3>Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.</h3><h3>The value of x is 8.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. the length PQ is (x+2) units, and the length of QA is (3x-14) units

From the given Q is the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

By the definition of rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

Implies that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

x-3x=-14-2

-2x=-16

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

$x =\frac{16}{2}$

<h3>∴ x=8</h3><h3>Since Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles we can equate x+2 = 3x-14 to find the value of x.</h3>

The line segment $\overrightarrow{PA}=\overrightarrow{PQ}+\overrightarrow{QA}$

$\overrightarrow{PA}=x+2+3x-14$

$=4x-12$

$=4(8)-12$ ( since x=8)

$=32-12$

$=20$

<h3>∴ $\overrightarrow{PA}=20$ units</h3>

Find measure of angle BDC

Liula [17]

The 2 angles are complemantary or form right angles so $-3x+20-2x+55=90=-5x+75=90=-5x=15
$ so $x=3$ . Plugging that into BDC we get 11
