Answer: each girl received 30 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of stickers that the boys received.

Let y represent the number of stickers that the girls received.

The total number of children was 42. 2/3 of the children were boys. It means that the number of boys were

2/3 × 42 = 28

The number if girls would be

42 - 28 = 14

The total number of stickers that the school principal shared was 840. It means that

28x + 14y = 840- - - - - - - - -1

Each of the boys received the same number of stickers while each girl received twice as many as each boy. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

28x + 14 × 2x = 840

28x + 28x = 840

56x = 840

x = 840/56

x = 15

y = 2x = 15 × 2

y = 30

Answer:

a = 1.5

VW = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tangent lines connect both circles, we know that the line VU and VX are congruent (equal). Thus, we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:

a + 4 = a² + 0.25                            Set equal

a² - a = 3.75                                    Isolate a values

a² - a + 0.25 = 3.75 + 0.25            Complete the square

(a + 0.5)² = 4                                  Factor

a + 0.5 = 2                                     Simplify

a = 1.5

Now we need to calculate VW, but thats easy because its equal to TV, and since we know a, we can just plug it in:

((1.5) + 7.5) ft

9 ft
