They already give you the number of boys {14}, so all you need to do is subtract 30 - 14 which will give you the ratio of girls.
It does this because 14 takes up 
of the seventh grade class.
So your answer is going to be 14:16 un-simplified.
However, since they ask you to put it in the simplest terms, we are going to simplify 
You can do this by dividing both numbers by 2.

Answer:
1A: 29 units²
1B: √29 units
2, 3, 4. see below
5. between 8 and 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1A: Split the given square up into 4 triangles and a square in the centre. You'll get 4 triangles of sides 5 and 2, and a centre square of sides 3.
Area = 4(0.5)(5 x 2) + (3²) = 29 units²
1B: Square root your answer in 1A. √29 units
Alternatively you can use Pythagoras' theorem on one of the triangles. √(5² + 2²) = √29 units
2. The area is exactly 17 units, because the area of a square is the length of its side squared. (√17)² = 17, hence the square's area is 17 units.
3. A number that can be expressed as a fraction (includes whole numbers). E.g. 1/2, 1/7, 4
4. A number that cannot be expressed as a fraction. E.g. π, e, √3
5. Consider the closest square numbers to 70. 70 is closer to 64 than 81 (difference of 6 vs 11). Hence √70 should be closer to 8 than 9. Your answer should be between 8 and 8.5.
Like a to one to b uh I don’t know
