Answer:

The length of CD is 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ABC and if BC = 6 units and AD = 5 units

we have to find the length of DC.

In ΔABC and ΔBDC

∠ABC=∠BDC    (each 90°)

BC=BC   (common)

∠C=∠C   (Common)

By ASA rule, ΔABC≈ΔBDC

Therefore their corresponding sides are in proportion

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac{CD}{BC}

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{CD}{BC}

Let CD=x units

BC^2=(AC)(CD)

6^2=(AD+CD)CD

36=(5+x)x

36=5x+x^2

x^2+5x-36=0

x^2+9x-4x-36=0

x(x+9)-4(x+9)=0

(x-4)(x+9)=0

x=4, -9

Distance can't be negative therefore

The length of CD is 4 units

Ok so if you did 156-6 (considering it was 6 more you want to subtract it) and then because the girls was doubled the boys (you are now at 150) you must divide that by 3 which will give you 50. But you need to double it (for girls) which is 100 and then you have 50 left over which is for the boys. Boys=50 girls=106

It was $930.

To over check, multiply it by 20% , you will get $186.

Hope this helps !

Pls say hard very hard​

(a) From the histogram, you can see that there are 2 students with scores between 50 and 60; 3 between 60 and 70; 7 between 70 and 80; 9 between 80 and 90; and 1 between 90 and 100. So there are a total of 2 + 3 + 7 + 9 + 1 = 22 students.

(b) This is entirely up to whoever constructed the histogram to begin with... It's ambiguous as to which of the groups contains students with a score of exactly 60 - are they placed in the 50-60 group, or in the 60-70 group?

On the other hand, if a student gets a score of 100, then they would certainly be put in the 90-100 group. So for the sake of consistency, you should probably assume that the groups are assigned as follows:

50 ≤ score ≤ 60   ==>   50-60

60 < score ≤ 70   ==>   60-70

70 < score ≤ 80   ==>   70-80

80 < score ≤ 90   ==>   80-90

90 < score ≤ 100   ==>   90-100

Then a student who scored a 60 should be added to the 50-60 category.
