Answer:

15 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

A class constituting of boys and girls:

Has a total of 35 students.

The number of girls outnumber that of boys by 5.

Let the number of boys be x such that the number of girls is x + 5.

∴

x + x + 5 = 35

2x + 5 = 35

2x = 35 - 5 = 30

x = 30/2 = 15

So there are 15 boys and 35 - 15 = 20 girls.

The figure shown below is composed of a semicircle and a non-overlapping equilateral triangle and contains a hole that is also c

Sloan [31]

Check the picture below.

since we know the radius of the larger semicircle is 8, thus its diameter is 16, which is the length of one side of the equilateral triangle. We also know the smaller semicircle has a radius of 1/3, and thus a diameter of 2/3, namely the lenght of one side of the small equilateral triangle.

now, if we just can get the area of the larger figure and the area of the smaller one and subtract the smaller from the larger, we'll be in effect making a hole/gap in the larger and what's leftover is the shaded figure.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of a semi-circle}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2\qquad r=radius}~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{\textit{area of an equilateral triangle}}{A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\qquad s=\stackrel{side's}{length}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\Large Areas}}{\left[ \stackrel{\textit{larger figure}}{\cfrac{1}{2}\pi 8^2~~+~~\cfrac{16^2\sqrt{3}}{4}} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{1}{2}\pi \left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^2 +\cfrac{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\right]}$

$\bf \left[ 32\pi +64\sqrt{3} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{18}+\cfrac{\frac{4}{9}\sqrt{3}}{4} \right] \\\\\\ \left[ 32\pi +64\sqrt{3} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{18}+\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{9} \right]~~\approx~~ 211.38 - 0.37~~\approx~~ 211.01$
