Answer:

There are 48 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :There are 3 times as many boys as girls.

            There are 24 more boys than girls,

To Find : how many children are there?

Solution:

Let the number of girls be x

Now we are given that there are 3 times as many boys as girls.

So, no. of boys = 3x

Now we are given that there are 24 more boys than girls.

So, 3x-x=24

2x=24

x=12

So, no. of girls = 12

No. of boys = 3x = 3(12) = 36

Now the total no. of children = 12+36 = 48

Hence there are 48 children.

Write a series of rigid motions that transform pentagon ABCDE to pentagon A′B′C′D′E′
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

We need the following three rigid motions:

i) Reflection around y-axis, ii) Translation three units in the -y direction, iii) Translation four units in the -x direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to perform three operations on pentagon ABCDE to create pentagon A'B'C'D'E':

i) Reflection around y-axis:

(x',y') = (-x,y) (Eq. 1)

ii) Translation three units in the -y direction:

(x'',y'') = (x', y'-3) (Eq. 2)

iii) Translation four units in the -x direction:

(x''',y''') = (x''-4, y'') (Eq. 3)

We proceed to proof the effectiveness of operations defined above by testing point D:

1) D(x,y) = (-1, 4) Given.

2) (x',y') = (1,4) By (Eq. 1)

3) (x'',y'') = (1, 1) By (Eq. 2)

4) D'(x,y) = (-3,1) By (Eq. 3)/Result

In the 30-60-90 triangle below, side s has a length of _ and side q has a length of _.
gregori [183]

Answer: F

Step-by-step explanation:

For a 30-60-90 triangle, we know that the hypotenuse is 2x. Since we know the hypotenuse is 10, we can solve for x.

2x=10

x=5

Now that we know x is 5, we can use this to solve for s and q. The side across from 30° is just x. Since we know x, s is 5.

The side across from 60° is x√3. Since we know what x is, we can just plug in. q is 5√3.

I am thinking of two numbers. The sum of the two is 10 and the difference is 2
mixer [17]

Answer:

4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find all the pairs that add up to 10.

  • 1 + 9, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6, and 5 + 5

Next, we find the difference between the addends for each pair.

  • 9 - 1 = 8
  • 8 - 2 = 6
  • 7 - 3 = 4
  • 6 - 4 = 2
  • 5 - 5 = 0

As you can, see the numbers that add to 10 and have a different of 2 is 4 and 6.
