The distance formula is:
We are given two points in the form (x,y), so plug in the values to the distance formula:
Next we can simplify. We know that 12-12 is 0, so we can drop it from the equation, as it will not affect our answer. Also, we know that -10-15 is -25:
The square and square root cancel each other out leaving us with 25.
The answer is 25.

Let
x-------> <span>the probability that a boy is chosen
B------> </span>number of boys in the debate team
G------> number of girls in the debate team<span>
we know that
B+G=20-----> G=20-B-----> equation 1
</span>probability that a boy is chosen=number of boys in the debate team/total of people
so
x=B/20-------> equation 2
t<span>he probability that a girl is chosen is 2/3 the probability that a boy is chosen
</span>probability that a girl is chosen=(2/3)*x
probability that a girl is chosen=G/20
(2/3)*x=G/20-----> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in equation 3
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20----> equation 4
resolve the equations system
x=B/20
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=0.6
B=12
G=20-12-----> G=8
number of boys in the debate team is 12
number of girls in the debate team is 8
the probability that a boy is chosen is 0.6 ----> 60%
the probability that a girl is chosen is 0.6*(2/3)----> 0.4---> 40%
the answer is
number of girls in the debate team is 8
