The girls are 4/9 of the total number of boys and girls, so the total number is 9×96/4=216 and there are 5/9×216=120 boys.
Let the extra number of boys be b, then the total becomes 216+b. We have 96 girls and 120+b boys.
The ratio 2/3=96/(120+b).
Cross multiplying: 2(120+b)=3×96=288.
240+2b=288, 2b=288-240=48, b=24.
So 24 boys arrived.

What is the sum of the interior angles of the polygon shown below
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

720 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with  n  sides is

180(n - 2)  degrees.

In this case,  n = 6 sides, so the angle sum is

180(6 - 2) = 180(4) = 720 degrees.

The reason this works is that if you draw a diagonal from one vertex to the others (see attached image), you get 2 fewer triangles than the number of sides.  Each triangle contains a total of 180 degrees, so the total of all the interior angles is 180(n - 2).
