Answer:

40 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the number of girls in band class:

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{x}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

3x = 120

x = 40

So, there were 40 girls in band class.

Answer: There are 40 girls in band class.

____________________________________________________________

The ratio for this problem is:

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{x}

To get from 3 to 24, you would multiply by 8. You need to do the same thing to 5 to get x.

5 times 8 equals 40.

There are 40 girls in band class.

Find the length of the radius of the circle, which is inscribed into a right trapezoid with lengths of bases a and b.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

  r = (ab)/(a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached sketch. The diagram shows base b at the bottom and base a at the top. The height of the trapezoid must be twice the radius. The point where the slant side of the trapezoid is tangent to the inscribed circle divides that slant side into two parts: lengths (a-r) and (b-r). The sum of these lengths is the length of the slant side, which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg equal to 2r and the other leg equal to (b-a).

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the relation ...

  ((a-r) +(b-r))^2 = (2r)^2 +(b -a)^2

  a^2 +2ab +b^2 -4r(a+b) +4r^2 = 4r^2 +b^2 -2ab +a^2

  -4r(a+b) = -4ab . . . . . . . . subtract common terms from both sides, also -2ab

  r = ab/(a+b) . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r

The radius of the inscribed circle in a right trapezoid is r = ab/(a+b).

_____

The graph in the second attachment shows a trapezoid with the radius calculated as above.
