Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Two pieces

x and x+1 must add to 16 ft

x + (x+1 ) = 16

2 x + 1 = 16

2x = 15

<u>x = 7.5 ft </u> and the other is x+1=<u> 8.5 ft </u>

Answer:

mean = 7

median = 7

range = 9

mid range = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 12

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values of a set of observations

Range = highest value - lowest value

12 - 3 = 9

Median can be described as the number that occurs in the middle of a set of numbers that are arranged either in ascending or descending order

3, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 12

median = 7

Mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is determined by adding the numbers together and dividing it by the total number

Mean = sum of the numbers / total number

(6 + 12 + 5 + 7+ 7 + 3 + 9) / 7 = 7

Mid range = (highest value + lowest value) / 2

(12 + 3) / 2 = 7.5

In similar figures, the ratio between corresponding sides are the same.

$\frac{25}{35}=\frac{35}{49}$

Simplify the two to see that they are equal.
The top and bottom of the left fraction are divisible by 5.
The top and bottom of the right fraction are divisible by 7.

$\frac{5}7=\frac{5}7$

Of course, the dimensions of that third picture would have to be this fraction.
Let's test these answers.

$\frac{5}6\neq\frac{5}7$ ⇒ A is not a solution

$\frac{30}{42}=\frac{5}7$ ⇒ B is the solution
(divide the top and bottom by 6)
