Answer:

there are 18 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

for every 2 boys there are 3 girls

so then you can say 2/5 of the class are boys and 3/5 are girls

and you have to calculate 3/5 of 30 so you have to divide 5 and then multiply by 3 so 30 divided by 5 is 6 the n multiply 6 by 3 and the answer is 18.

Hope this helps

Gary drove to the park at a rate of 50 miles per hour if it took him 2.5 hours to get from his house to the park how far away is

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The distance of the park from the Gary's house is 125 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Gary = 50 miles/hour

Time taken by Gary to reach the park from his house = 2.5 hours

Now, we know that,

Distance travelled = speed × time

So, distance between park and Gary's house = speed × time

= 50 × 2.5

= 125 miles

So, the park is 125 miles away from the Gary's house.

A circle is centered at the point (-3, 2) and passes through the point (1, 5). The radius of the circle is ______ units. The poi

nalin [4]

Circle formula
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center
and r=radius

to find the radius
we are given one of the points and the center
distnace from them is the radius
distance formula
D= $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}$
points (-3,2) and (1,5)
D= $\sqrt{(1-(-3))^{2}+(5-2)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$
D= $\sqrt{16+9}$
D= $\sqrt{25}$
D=5

center is -3,2
r=5
input
(x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2=5^2
(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=25 is equation
radius =5
input -7 for x and solve for y
(-7+3)^2+(y-2)^2=25
(-4)^2+(y-2)^2=25
16+(y-2)^2=25
minus 16
(y-2)^2=9
sqqrt
y-2=+/-3
add 2
y=2+/-3
y=5 or -1

the point (-7,5) and (7,-1) lie on this circle

radius=5 units
the points (-7,5) and (-7,1) lie on this circle
