Easy

median is the number in the middle when they are arranged in increasing numerical order
example
1,2,3
median is 2 becaus it is in middle
1,4,6,7,8
6 is median

if you have an even amount then average the middle two
1,3,5,7
median is the mean of 3 and 5 which is 4

so

3,5,7,11,23
median is 7 right now
there are an odd amout of numbers
adding 1 will result in even
to find the median of even set of numbers, average the 2 middle ones
right now 7 is center
the mean of 5 and 7 is 6
the mean of 7 and 11 is 9
we want a mean of 9
so add any  number greater than or equal to 11
3,5,7,11,12,23 is one option
3,5,7,11,23,50 is another



mean is 9
mean is the average of them
x is the number to be added
6 numbers will be the set since there are 5 now and adding 1 will get 6
(3+5+7+11+23+x)/6=9
(49+x)/6=9
times both sides by 6
49+x=54
minus 49 both sides
x=5

the number added must be 5



to make the median of the 6 numbers 9, add any number greater than or equal to 11, such as 12 or 234

to make the mean 9, add 5 to the set

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 2 feet. Which of the following should be done first in order to find the vol
zvonat [6]
The significant components, the radius and the height, are in inches and feet respectively, you'd need to convert them both to the same unit, whichever it may be, meters or feet or inches or millimeters, so long is the same, then use the volume of a cylinder equation to get it.

The lateral area of the prism is given by:
LA=[area of the two triangles]+[area of the lateral rectangles]
hypotenuse of the triangle will be given by Pythagorean:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=6^2+4^2
c^2=52
c=sqrt52
c=7.211'
thus the lateral area will be:
L.A=2[1/2*4*6]+[6*8]+[8*7.211]
L.A=24+48+57.69
L.A=129.69 in^2

The total are will be given by:
T.A=L.A+base area
base area=length*width
=4*8
=32 in^2
thus;
T.A=32+129.69
T.A=161.69 in^2

Hope this helps:) plz mark brainiest i would really apperciate it
