Because otherwise the two circles you build wouldn't have any intersection!

You have to draw two circles, centered at the endpoints of the segment, and connect their intersection.

If the radii are less than half the length of the circle, the circles will have no interserction.

The ratio of boys to girls at the beach cleanup was 7:8. If there were 42 boys, how many girls were there?

It would be 48 girls. 42 divided by 7 equals 6 so then you just times 6 by 8 to figure out how many girls there will be.
