To find the mean of a data set, you have to add all of the numbers and divide by the number of data.
So
50 + 54 + 62 + 48 + 49 + 52
To get 315.
315 divided by 6 is 52.5
So the mean of he data set is 52.5
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
x° = 37°
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise some facts of a circle
- The secant is a line intersect the circle in two points
- If two secants intersect each other in a point outside the circle,
then the measure of the angle between them is half the difference
of the measures of their intercepted arcs
* Now lets solve the problem
- There is a circle
- Two secants of this circle intersect each other in a point outside
the circle
∴ The measure of the angle between them = 1/2 the difference of the
measures of their intercepted arcs
∵ The measure of the angle between them is x°
∵ The measures of their intercepted arcs are 26° and 100°
- Use the rule above to find x
∴ x° = 1/2 [ measure of the large arc - measure of small arc]
∵ The measure of the large arc is 100°
∵ The measure of the small arc is 26°
∴ x° = 1/2 [100 - 26] = 1/2 [74] = 37°
∴ x° = 37°
Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
Since the right triangle always has a 90 degree angle they are always similar
