Answer:

10 boys, 15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls

let x be the scale factor of the ratio

2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1

Simplify: 2x+5=3x

Simplify: 5=x

plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15

Check: 10/15 = 2/3

10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c and the angle opposite the side of length a is acute what must be true?
ANTONII [103]

The true statement about the triangle is (a) b^2 + c^2 > a^2

<h3>How to determine the true inequality?</h3>

The sides are given as:

a, b and c

The angle opposite of side length a is an acute angle

The above means that:

The side a is the longest side of the triangle.

The Pythagoras theorem states that:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

Since the triangle is not a right triangle, and the angle opposite a is acute.

Then it means that the square of a is less than the sum of squares of other sides.

This gives

a^2 < b^2 + c^2

Rewrite as:

b^2 + c^2 > a^2

Hence, the true statement about the triangle is (a) b^2 + c^2 > a^2

An image point has coordinates B'(7, -4). Find the coordinates of its pre-image if the translation used was (x + 4, y + 5).
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

B'(7, -4)

Let the pre-image coordinates be (x,y)

Consider x-coordinate,

x + 4 = 7

x = 3

Consider y-coordinates,

y + 5 = -4

y = -9

pre-image coordinates is (3, -9)
