Answer:

21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were five teams entered in a competition, and each team consisted of either only boys or only girls, with the number of team members being 9, 15, 17, 19 and 21 members, if after one team of girls had been knocked out of the competition, the number of girls still competing was three times the number of boys, to determine how many girls were in the team that was eliminated, the following calculation must be performed:

9 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 60/4 = 15

9 + 15 + 17 + 21 = 62/4 = 15.5

9 + 15 + 19 + 21 = 64/4 = 16

9 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 66/4 = 16.5

15 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 72/4 = 18

Thus, since 15 x 3 equals 45, and 45 plus 15 equals 60, the number of girls on the team that was eliminated was 21.

just olya [345]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statements:                                                           Reasons:

\displaystyle 1)\text{ } \Delta APB \text{ and } \Delta AQC \text{ are equilateral triangles}      Given

\displaystyle 2) \text{ } m \angle PAB = 60                                                     Definition of equilateral.

3)\text{ } m \angle QAC = 60                                                     Definition of equilateral.

4)\text{ } m\angle PAB = m\angle QAC                                          Substitution

5)\text{ } m\angle PAC=m\angle PAB+m\angle BAC                       Angle Addition

\displaystyle 6)\text{ } m\angle QAB=m\angle QAC+m\angle BAC                       Angle Addition

7)\text{ } m\angle QAB=m\angle PAB+m\angle BAC                       Substitution

\displaystyle 8)\text{ } m\angle PAC=m\angle QAB                                         Substitution

9)\text{ } PA=BA                                                          Definition of equilateral

10)\text{ } AC=AQ                                                        Definition of equilateral

\displaystyle 11)\text{ } \Delta PAC \cong \Delta BAQ                                            Side-Angle-Side Congruence*

\displaystyle 12)\text{ } PC=BQ                                                        CPCTC

* SAS Congruence:

PA = BA

∠PAC = ∠QAB

AC = AQ
