Answer:
bots/total = 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 15 girls and 9 boys
15+9 = 24 total students
boys/total = 9/24
Divide the top and bottom by 3
= 3/8
A = 360 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagorean theorem, the length AB is given by
AB^2 = 17^2 - 8^2 = 225 cm^2
or
AB = 15 cm
Since the ratio BC: CD = 1:2 and BC = 8 cm, this means that CD = 2×(8 cm) = 16 cm
so the length BD is
BD = BC + CD = 8cm + 16 cm = 24 cm
There the area of the rectangle is
A = AB×BD
= 15cm×24cm
= 360 cm^2
