First, we are going to use the Pythagorean identity:

to rewrite our expression. Solving for

in our Pythagorean identity we get that

, so we can rewrite our expression as follows:

Next, we are going to use the trig identity:

to completely simplify our expression:

We can conclude that
So.. . . . . . √5=2.23607
1.05<√5<3.05
The mean is 9.6
3+8+10+12+15= 48/5= 9.6
