There are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys. Hope I could help! :D

There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.

16*1.125=18

So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.

A triangle has angles measuring 43° and 62°. What is the measure of the triangle's third angle?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

I know the measure of the triangle's third angle is 75 degrees because all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So, I did 180-62-43 and got 75. So, in order for this triangle to be true, the third triangle would have to be 75 degrees.

To check: 43 degrees+ 62 degrees+ 75 degrees = 180 degrees.
