Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Number of girls invited = x

Number of boys = x +20

3/4 of boy showed up

2/3 of girls showed up

Exactly 19 did not show up

Therefore, we could say:

Fraction of boys that didn't show up = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Fraction of girls that didn't show up = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

That is,

[1/4 *(x + 20)] + [1/3*x] = 19

[(x + 20) / 4] + x /3 = 19

(3(x + 20) + 4x) / 12 = 19

3x + 60 + 4x = 228

7x = 228 - 60

7x = 168

x = 168 / 7

x = 24

Number of girls, x = 24

Number of boys, x + 20 = 24 + 20 = 44

Total friends invited = (24 + 44) = 68

Answer:

16.28 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the square do Base Times height.

Base (5), Height (2)

5 * 2 = 10

To find the semi circle do the regular formula for a circle but divide it by 2 at the end.

Area of a circle is pi time r squared

3.14 * 2^2 = 12.56 (Remember always follow order of operations or PEMDAS by squaring 2^2 first)

Since its a semi circle divide the area of the circle by 2.

12.56 / 2 = 6.28

To find the area of them both you add both areas together.

6.28 + 10 = 16.28 Ft^2
