Answer: P (girl) = 14 / 25

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of probability.

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Number of boys = 11

Number of girls = 14

Total number of people = 11 + 14 = 25

P (girl) = Favorable / Total (refer to the attachment)

P (girl) = 14 / 25

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

First we look for the hypotenuse of both triangles.
Left triangle:
Sine (68.1) = (1.75) / (h)
h = (1.75) / Sine (68.1)
h = 1.886108667
h = 1.9m
Right triangle:
Sine (49.4) = (1.75) / (h)
h = (1.75) / Sine (49.4)
h = 2.304841475
h = 2.3m
Finally adding the perimeter:
P = 5 + 1.9 + 2.75 + 2.3
P = 11.95 m
Answer:
she will need to build 11.95 m of fence
