So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.
600/12 = a

Simplify
50/1 = a
50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.
50(5) = b
250 = boys

50(7) = x
350 = x

There are 350 girls.

Answer:

the answer is triangles ABC and DEC are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

angle C is a common angle for both triangles

angle D is equal to angle A ( corresponding angles)since they are parallel

angle B is also equal to angle B for the same reason as angle D and A

since the three angles of the two angles are equal they are similar

Work out the angle of x please answer ASAP!!
geniusboy [140]

Given:

The figure of a pentagon.

To find:

The value of the x.

Solution:

We know that, the sum of all interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. So,

(5x-25)+(6x+25)+(6x-3)+(9x)+(7x+15)=540

(5x+6x+6x+9x+7x)+(-25+25-3+15)=540

33x+12=540

Subtract both sides by 12.

33x+12-12=540-12

33x=528

Divide both sides by 33.

x=\dfrac{528}{33}

x=16

Therefore, the value of the x is 16.
