There are 416 students who are enrolled in an introductory geology course. if there are seven boys to every six girls, how many boys are in the course

Hence the number of boys in the course are: 224

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
