Since the ratio of girls and boys must be the same in each team, and all the competitors must be involved, it means that each team's ratio of boys : girls must be equal to the total ratio of Boys : Girls = 36 :27= 4 / 3.

Now 4 / 3, the most simplified version of 36 / 27, happens by dividing the numerator & demoninator by 9 (the greatest number it can divide by). So the greatest number will be 9 teams, each of  4 Boys & 3 Girls

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Phythagorean Theorem - a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It represents the Pythagorean Theorem because in the model there is a right triangle and you can use the phythagoren theorem with any right triangle that has at least two known sides.

Since you know all the sides in this diagram, this would be true:
