      <u>ΔACB</u>                                               <u>ΔCDA</u>

AC² + BC² = AB²                           AD² + CD² = AC²  

          BC² = AB² - AC²                 BC² + CD² = AC²        (AD=BC is given)

                                                                 BC² = AC² - CD²

                         AB² - AC² = AC² - CD²         (both sides were = to BC²)

                         AB² + CD² = 2AC²

                         (3)² + (√2)² = 2AC²            (AB=3 and CD=√2 were given)

                          9  +   2    = 2AC²

                               11        = 2AC²

                                \frac{11}{2}        = AC²

                                \sqrt{\frac{11}{2} }     = AC

                                \frac{11\sqrt{2} }{2}      = AC

Which description best fits the distribution of the data shown in the histogram?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
This is an approximately bell-shaped distribution. The highest bar is in the center, with height = 12. Just to its left and right are bars of heights 6 and 5. At the extremes are bars of heights 2 and 1.

If the highest bar was on the left, it would be skewed left (and if it was on the right, skewed right). A uniform distribution would more or less have the same height level over all the bars.
