Answer:
C. Median
Step-by-step explanation:
If both sides are <em>symmetrical,</em> then there is no need to try and find the mean or anything because you already have the middle point and no outliers. <u>If there were outliers it'd be different</u>, unless the outliers were symmetrical with the rest of it, then the median would still be a good option.
Yes, SSS
PR are already a given side. PS and PQ are also given sides. Lastly, RS and RQ are given sides.
Answer:
The perimeter (to the nearest integer) is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
The upper half of this figure is a triangle with height 3 and base 6. If we divide this vertically we get two congruent triangles of height 3 and base 3. Using the Pythagorean Theorem we find the length of the diagonal of one of these small triangles: (diagonal)^2 = 3^2 + 3^2, or (diagonal)^2 = 2*3^2.
Therefore the diagonal length is (diagonal) = 3√2, and thus the total length of the uppermost two sides of this figure is 6√2.
The lower half of the figure has the shape of a trapezoid. Its base is 4. Both to the left and to the right of the vertical centerline of this trapezoid is a triangle of base 1 and height 3; we need to find the length of the diagonal of one such triangle. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get
(diagonal)^2 = 1^2 + 3^2, or 1 + 9, or 10. Thus, the length of each diagonal is √10, and so two diagonals comes to 2√10.
Then the perimeter consists of the sum 2√10 + 4 + 6√2.
which, when done on a calculator, comes to 9.48. We must round this off to the nearest whole number, obtaining the final result 9.
The answers are A and D. Hope this helps!
