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

For this case, what we must do is find the scale factor.
We have then that the scale factor is given by:
$k = \frac{L1}{L2}$
Where,
L1: side length of polygon ABCD
L2: side length of polygon PQRS
Note: both sides belong to the same side of each polygon
Substituting the values we have:
$k = \frac{6}{12}$
Rewriting we have:
$k = \frac{1}{2}$
Answer:
The scale factor of dilation is given by:
$k = \frac{1}{2}$

Find the distance between the point (3,1) and the line with the equation y=2x-5

True [87]

Answer:

B: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that (3, 1) satisfies the equation y = 2x - 5:

1 = 2(3) - 5

1 = 6 -5 = 1

Therefore, the distance between this point and this line is zero.

B is the correct answer.

If the shortest side in a 30° 60° and 90° triangle is a half an inch long find the length of the other two sides

disa [49]

30=1/2 inch
60=1/2x2=1 inch
90=1/2x3=1 1/2

shortest side is 1/2 inch, medium side is 1 inch, longest is 1 1/2
