The new mean is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean = sum of the numbers ÷ numbers

  • The mean of a set of 5 numbers is 12
  • One of the number is 16
  • We need to find the new mean if 16 is removed from the set of numbers

∵ The set has 5 numbers

∵ The mean of the 5 numbers is 12

- Substitute these values in the rule of the mean above

∴ 12 = sum of the numbers ÷ 5

- Multiply both sides by 5

∴ 60 = sum of the numbers

∵ One of the number is 16

∵ 16 is removed from the set of the number

- Subtract 16 from the sum and the numbers will be four numbers

∵ The new sum = 60 - 16

∴ The new sum = 44

∵ The set has 4 numbers

∴ The new mean = 44 ÷ 4 = 11

The new mean is 11

In the triangle below,<br> y = [ ? ] cm. Round to the<br> nearest tenth.
sattari [20]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>12.3 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find y

To find y we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the question

y is the adjacent

The hypotenuse is 15

So we have

\cos(35)  =  \frac{y}{15}  \\ y = 15 \cos( 35 )  \\ y = 12.28728

We have the final answer as

<h3>12.3 cm to the nearest tenth</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find X <br><br> Simplify answer type exact number or use radicals as needed
satela [25.4K]
On a right triangle, to find one missing side you can use this equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are the sides next to the right angle, and c is the hypotenuse (side not connected to right angle).

You first need to find the length of the dotted line before finding x. This is because to be able to use the above formula, you have to know the length of two out of three of the sides.

To solve the length of the dotted line, note that it also makes a triangle with the 5 unit line and the 5 √5 unit line. You can plug these numbers into the formula.
(5)^2+b^2=(5 √5)^2
25+b^2=125
b^2=100
b=10

Now that you know the length of the dotted line is 10 units, you can now solve for x

(20)^2+(10)^2=x^2
400+100=x^2
500=x^2
x= √500, which equals 22.361
