Answer:

8 friends, 9 shells and 5 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question you will need to know how to factorise a number in prime numbers.

72/2 => 36/2 => 18/2 => 9/3 => 3

So 72 is 2*2*2*3*3 = 72

Then 40 = 2*2*2*5

Their common factors are 2*2*2 = 8

So there's only 8 friends at most to have whole numbers.

To see how many shells you only need to do 72/8 = 9

For the coins, 40/8 = 5

Solve each triangle - find any missing side and angle measures. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
Basile [38]

The sides of the right-angle triangle will be 16 units and 20.30 units. And the missing angle will be 52°.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

The side AC will be

tan 38° = 12.5 / AC

      AC = 15.999

      AC ≈ 16 units

Then the side AB will be

AB² = 12.5² + 16²

 AB = 20.30 units

We know that the angle sum is 180 degrees. Then we have

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

38° + ∠B + 90° = 180°

                  ∠B = 52°

More about the right-angle triangle link is given below.
