Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (
2
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [

] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
One that can’t be solved so D
In regular polygons, if the number of sides, n, is odd, the lines of symmetry will pass through a vertex and the half of the opposite side.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is equivalent to say that a perpendicular bisector of a side of the regular polygon bisects the angle of the opposite vertex to the side, and divide the polygon into two symmetrical parts.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
v=3p(w-r)
v=3pw-3pr
v+3pr=3pw
(v+3pr)/3p=w
Answer:
x = 16
y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
the left part of the triangle can be solved first as it already has one angle and 1 side, we use trigonometry for this.
since we have 2 sides and 1 angle, to find the third side length we use the pythagoras theorem. a² + b² = c²
; 9² + 12² = c²
; 225 = c²
;√225 = c
; 15 = c
since we have all the lengths of the triangle, we can find out the angle opposite to the side length '9',
; 
; 
x 9 = Sinx
36.86 = x
now, we look at the triangle as a whole, the top angle being 90 degrees, we know that we have 36.86.
; 90 - 36.86 = 53.13
; 
x Sin 90 = 20
y = 20
again, since we have 2 sides of a right angled triangle we use a² + b² = c²
we arrange this formula since we have the hypotenuse
; 20² - 12² = 256
; √256 = x
; 16 = x
