Let the number of adults be x, then number of male students is 1 + 7x and the number of female students is (1 + 7x)/2.
x + 1 + 7x + (1 + 7x)/2 = 82
2x + 2 + 14x + 1 + 7x = 164
23x = 164 - 2 - 1 = 161
x = 161/23 = 7

Therefore, number of male students is 1 + 7(7) = 1 + 49 = 50
and the number of female students is 50/2 = 25.

What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a quads?
VLD [36.1K]

The formula for finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral is  Length + Length + Width + Width.

<h3>What is Perimeter?</h3>
  • A perimeter is the path that surrounds a certain shape. To calculate the path that surrounds a quadrilateral, we need to get the sum of its four sides, both lengths and widths, lengths being the longest sides and the widths being the shortest.
  • The formula used for calculating perimeter is Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width.
  • For instance, to calculate the perimeter of a parallelogram with a side of 5 cm and one of 3 cm, we insert the numbers in their corresponding spot in the formula as such: Perimeter=5+5+3+3=16 cm or since parallelograms have 2 sets of 2 equal sides, we can use this formula Perimeter=(5×2)+(3×2)=10+6=16 cm.
  • For a square on the other hand, we only need to know the length of one side because it has 4 equal sides.

Therefore, the formula for finding the perimeter of a quadrilateral is  Length + Length + Width + Width.
