Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
135 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Jose's height = x
The mean of their heights = 150
Given the Heights:
150cm, 170cm, 140cm, 155cm
The mean is the sum if the heights divided by the number of people
Here :
(150 + 170 + 140 + 155 + x) / 5 = 150
(615 + x) / 5 = 150
615 + x = 750
x = 750 - 615
x = 135 cm
Answer:
x = 6

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify</u>
<em>a</em> = x + 3
<em>b</em> = x
<em>c</em> = √117
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: (x + 3)² + x² = (√117)²
- Expand [FOIL]: x² + 6x + 9 + x² = (√117)²
- Combine like terms: 2x² + 6x + 9 = (√117)²
- Exponents: 2x² + 6x + 9 = 117
- [SPE] Subtract 117 on both sides: 2x² + 6x - 108 = 0
- Factor out GCF: 2(x² + 3x - 54) = 0
- [DPE] Divide 2 on both sides: x² + 3x - 54 = 0
- Factor Quadratic: (x - 6)(x + 9) = 0
- Solve roots/solve <em>x</em>: x = -9, 6
Since we are dealing with positive values, we can disregard the negative root.
∴ x = 6
1/2 would not be a useful benchmark to compare these 2 fractions because both of them are greater than half. The benchmark fraction 1/2 is most useful when one fraction is less than half and the other more than 1/2. 5/8 is more than 4/8(1/2), and 9/10 is more than 5/10(1/2).
