Total number of people is 55

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x

⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x

⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x

⇒ 3x = 33

⇒ x = 11

Step 2:

Find total number of people.

33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55

Answer:

There are 55 people altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question says, there are 33 more boys than girls. So let's make girls = x as it is an unknown value:

boys = 33 + x

As we know that the ratio is 4:1 so, we can make it as:

4x : x

Given that the the ratio of boys is 4x and the value is 33+x. Now, we can compare it :

4x = 33 + x

4x - x = 33

3x = 33

x = 11

Next, we can add up all the people:

boys=>

4x = 4 × 11

= 44 boys

girls=>

x = 11 girls

altogether=>

44 + 11 = 55 people

(Correct me if I am wrong)

Solve for v: -10=-5/4v
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

v = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-10= -5/4v first multiply both sides of the equation by -4/5

-10(-4/5) = v this cancels out the right side.

multiply the left side.

so you are left with 40/5 = v

next, simplify you will get 8=v

user100 [1]

Answer:

57 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The height, width, and diagonal of the TV screen form a right triangle.

Use the pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², and solve for c, the hypotenuse/diagonal of the TV.

a² + b² = c²

30² + 48² = c²

900 + 2304 = c²

3204 = c²

56.6 = c

Round this to the nearest inch:

56.6

= 57

So, the diagonal of the TV screen is 57 inches

Find the distance between (4,-2) &amp; (-1,3)
AleksAgata [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem here. To find the height, find the difference of the 2 y's. To find the length, find the difference between the 2 x's.

Length = x2 - x1

Height = y2 - y1

√length^2 + height^2 = distance

√5^2 + 5^2 = √50 = 7.07

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, WV = 39, UW = 80, and VU = 89. What ratio represents the cosine of ∠U?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

cos ∅ = 80/89

Step-by-step explanation:

As required from the question the picture below represent a triangle UVW . The angle W = 90°. The sides WV = 39 , VU = 89 and UW = 80. The triangle forms a right angle triangle .

Such triangle one can establish trigonometric relationship using the SOHCAHTOA principle.

The question requested us to find the ratio that represent the cosine of  ∠U.

The ∠U is represented as ∅ .

Therefore,

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 80. The adjacent side is the non hypotenuse side that is next to the given angle.

hypotenuse = 89 . Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle and it opposite the right angle.  

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos ∅ = 80/89
