Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 54 by 3 you get 18. Now we get the ratio of boys which is 2 and you multiply it by 18 as 1 ratio I'm this case is 18.

Once you multiply the two numbers, you get 36 boys.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

36 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio relates to 54 girls.

Divide the number of girls by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

54 ÷ 3 = 18 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 18 = 36 ← number of boys

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! let's divide -24 and -6 to simplify this. this is the same answer as 24/6 since two negatives that are divided by each other equal a positive number, and 24 divided by 6 is 4, so the answer is 4.

Find the six trigonometric function values for angle ∅ where its adjacent side is -9 and its hypotenuse is 41. (Theta is located

arsen [322]

Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}
\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\sqrt{41^2-(-9)^2}=b\implies \sqrt{1681-81}=b\\\\\\ \sqrt{1600}=b\implies 40=b\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}\qquad~~ cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}\qquad~~ tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}
\\\\\\
csc(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}\qquad ~~sec(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}\qquad ~~cot(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}$
