Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

624 students

Since they’re only 3 parts more girls then boys and the number equals 144, you just have to divide 144 by 3. You’ll get 48

Multiply 5 and 8 by 48 to get 240 and 384 and add to get 624 which is the answer

I do not need an explanation, just a simple angle number!
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 143 = 180    {Linear pair}

a = 180 - 143

a = 37

37 + 93 + b = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}

130 + b = 180

         b = 180 - 130

         b = 40

c + b = 90

c  + 40 = 90

c = 90 - 40

c = 50

d + 120 = 180   {Linear pair}

d = 180 - 120

d = 60

? = 60 + 40         {Exterior angle property of triangle}

? = 100

Can someone help with this problem
WARRIOR [948]
35+25=60
y=60


If you add the opposite side values of the triangle (not the one touching the y), you get the value of y). 35+25=y
This works because y+x= 180 and the three angles of a triangle add to 180.

Two opposite sides of a parallelogram are 3x-8 and 10x+13. Find the measure of all sides
RSB [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the parallelogram theorem

3x-8 = 10x+13

-7x = 21

x = -3

Substitute

3(-3) - 8

-17

10(-3) + 13

-17
