By applying reflection theory and constructing a geometric system of two proportional right triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.

<h3>How to estimate the height of the stainless steel globe</h3>

By physics we know that both the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are same. Thus, we have a geometric system formed by two proportional right triangles:

5.6 ft / 4 ft = h / 100 ft

h = (5.6 ft × 100 ft) / 4ft

h = 140 ft

Write the expression as a square of a monomial. a 81x^4

poizon [28]

Answer:

(9x²)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 81x⁴, to write the expression as a square of a monomial, first we will assign a variable to the expression.

y = 81x⁴

Then we take the square root of both sides of the expression

√y = √81x⁴

y^½ = √81 × √x⁴

y^½ = 9x²

Squaring both sides of the resulting equation to get y back

(y^½)² = (9x²)²

y = (9x²)²

The expression as a square of a monomial is (9x²)²

1) Mean of the set of data: 29.88

2) Mean absolute deviation: 10.13

3) See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a set of data it is calculated as

$\bar x = \frac{1}{N}\sum x_i$

where

N is the number of data in the set

$x_i$ is the value of each point in the dataset

For the set of data in this problem, we have:

$x_i =[28, 45, 12, 34, 36, 45, 19, 20]$

And the number of values is

N = 8

Therefore, we can calculate the mean:

$\bar x = \frac{1}{8}(28+ 45+ 12+ 34+ 36+ 45+ 19+ 20)=\frac{239}{8}=29.88$

The mean absolute deviation of a set of data is given by

$\delta = \frac{1}{N}\sum |x_i-\bar x|$

where

N is the number of values in the dataset

$x_i$ are the single values

$\bar x$ is the mean of the dataset

The dataset here is

$x_i =[28, 45, 12, 34, 36, 45, 19, 20]$

The mean, calculated in part 1), is

$\bar x = 29.88$

And

N = 8

Therefore the mean absolute deviation is

$\delta = \frac{1}{8}(|28-29.88|+|45-29.88|+|12-29.88|+|34-29.88|+|36-29.88|+|45-29.88|+|19-29.88|+|20-29.88|)=\frac{81}{8}=10.13$

The mean of a dataset is the sum of the single values of the dataset divided by the number of values. The mean represents the value $\bar x$ for which, if the dataset would have N values all equal to $\bar x$ , the sum of the values of the dataset would be the same as the sum of the actual values.

The mean absolute deviation for a set of data represents the average of the absolute deviations of the single points from the mean of the dataset. This quantity gives a measure of the "dispersion" of the points around the mean: in fact, the larger the mean absolute deviation is, the more the points are "spread" around the mean of the dataset. Instead, if the mean absolute deviation is small, it means that the points are closer to the mean value.
