Answer:

7 groups, 3 boys and 8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of groups be x

and total hikers in one group be y

if number of girls and boys in every group is same, then

\frac{21}{x} + \frac{56}{x} = y

\frac{21 + 56}{x} = y\\x*y = 77 ....(1)

from (1) x will either be 11 or 7

for x = 11 the values won't be real.

For x = 7\\y = \frac{77}{7} \\y = 11

so there will be 7 groups with 11 hikers in each groups and every group will have \frac{21}{7} = 3 boys and \frac{56}{7} = 8 girls

In a triangle, the middle length side is 3 more than the shortest side, and the longest side is double the middle length side. T
Tamiku [17]
Let's call the short side "s"
short side = "s"
middle side = 3s
longest side = 2*3*s
perimeter = 45 cm
perimeter = s + 3s + 6s = 45
short side = 4.5
middle = 13.5
long side = 27

4.5 + 13.5 + 27 = 45

The circumference of a circle is 9 pi m. What is the area, in square meters? Express
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

20.25 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) and circumference (C) of a circle are calculated using the formulae

C = 2πr and A = πr² ( where r is the radius )

calculate the radius using the formula for circumference

2πr = 9π ( divide both sides by 2π )

r =  =  = 4.5, hence

A = π × 4.5² = 20.25π m²
