Answer:
use Pythagoras theorem
the missing side is base
Step-by-step explanation:
pythagoras theorem
h^2 = p^2 + b^2
73^2 = 48^2 + b^2
5329 = 2304 + b^2
5329 - 2304 = b^2
3025 = b^2
√3025 = b
55 = b
Arranging them in ascending order :
21 , 21 , 30 , 44, 49, 52
Median = (30 + 44) ÷ 2
Median = 37 mins

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.
The correct solution:
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
