Answer: The answer is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there are a total of 60 students who signed up for hockey, where there were 3 boys for every 1 girl who signed up. We are to find the number of girls who signed up.

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls will be 3 : 1.

Let '3x' and 'x' be the number of boys and number of girls respectively who signed up.

Therefore, we have

3x+x=60\\\\\Rightarrow 4x=60\\\\\Rightarrow x=15.

Thus, the number of girls is 15.

Assume that BC is tangent to circle A. Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
Natalija [7]

Answer:

x ≈ 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ABC is right with ∠ C = 90° ( angle between tangent and radius )

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 14² = 17²

x² + 196 = 289 ( subtract 196 from both sides )

x² = 93 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{93} ≈ 9.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
