Find the length of the third side to the nearest tenth.

5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the Pythagoras theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Since you're solving for a side length that's not the hypotenuse you will manipulate the equation to c^2-a^2=b^2. From here you just plug in numbers.

8^2 - 6^2 = b^2

64 - 36 = b^2

b = sqrt(28)

b = 5.2915 = 5.3

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls

c - they will have the same distribution
