Answer: 120

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

              Ratio      Quantity

Boys:        5           80 + x                  

Girls:         3              x

                 \dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{80+x}{x}\\\\\\5x=3(80+x)\\\\5x=240+3x\\\\2x=240\\\\x=120

Andrew 720 seconds take shower and 420 seconds eating breakfast how many minutes does it take Andrew take a shower and eat break
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Total time = 19 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Time to shower = 720 seconds

Time to eat breakfast = 420 seconds

To find the total time in minutes;

Total time = 720 + 420

Total time = 1140 seconds

We know that 60 seconds equals a minute.

Total time = 1140/60

Total time = 19 minutes.

Therefore, it will take Andrew 19 minutes to take a shower and eat breakfast.

In geometry, how do defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?
mart [117]
In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane. 

<span>POINT (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size). Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness. A point is usually named with a capital letter. In the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered pair, (x,y). </span>

<span>LINE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions. A line is named by a single lowercase written letter or by two points on the line with an arrow drawn above them. </span>

<span>PLANE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions. Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall. Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC). </span>

<span>Undefined terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. A line segment is the portion of a line that includes two particular points and all points that lie between them, while a ray is the portion of a line that includes a particular point, called the end point, and all points extending infinitely to one side of the end point. </span>

<span>Defined terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms. An angle, for example, is a combination of two different rays or line segments that share a single end point. Similarly, a triangle is composed of three noncollinear points and the line segments that lie between them. </span>

<span>Everything else builds on these and adds more information to this base. Those added things include all the theorems and other "defined" terms like parallelogram or acute angle. </span>

From a window 20 feet above the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of a building across
Nikitich [7]

Answer: The answer is 381.85 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a window is 20 feet above the ground. From there, the angle of elevation to the top of a building across  the street is 78°, and the angle of depression to the base of the same building is 15°. We are to calculate the height of the building across the street.

This situation is framed very nicely in the attached figure, where

BG = 20 feet, ∠AWB = 78°, ∠WAB = WBG = 15° and AH = height of the bulding across the street = ?

From the right-angled triangle WGB, we have

\dfrac{WG}{WB}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{b}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{20}{\tan 15^\circ},

and from the right-angled triangle WAB, we have'

\dfrac{AB}{WB}=\tan 78^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h}{b}=\tan 15^\circ\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=\tan 78^\circ\times\dfrac{20}{\tan 15^\circ}\\\\\\\Rightarrow h=361.85.

Therefore, AH = AB + BH = h + GB = 361.85+20 = 381.85 feet.

Thus, the height of the building across the street is 381.85 feet.
