Hey there! I’m happy to help!

Let’s use the variable g to represent the girls. This ratio shows that there are twice as many boys as girls (boys=2g)We also see that there are 18 more boys that girls. Let’s set up an equation

g+18=2g
We subtract 18 from both sides
g=2g-18
We subtract 2g from both sides.
-g=-18
We divide both sides by -1
g=18

Therefore, there are eighteen girls.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

What is the measure of a single interior angle of a regular 34-gon?

netineya [11]

Answer:

<em>The measure of a single interior angle is 169.4°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Angles in Regular Polygons</u>

The sum of the interior angles, in degrees, of a regular polygon, is given by the formula 180(n – 2), where n is the number of sides.

For a regular 34-gon, n=34, and the sum of the interior angles is:

180(34 – 2)=5,760°

The measure of any of the interior angles is

$\frac{5,760}{34}=169.4^\circ$

The measure of a single interior angle is 169.4°
