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

A water tank is in the shape of a right circular Austin simulato water tank is in the shape of a right circular Cylinder with a
Burka [1]
⓵ To calculate the volume of a right circular cylinder, the formula is π times the radius of the circular base² time the height of the cylinder.

⓶ Now that we know that the equation to calculate the volume of a right circular cylinder is :

V = π x (r²) x h

You need to find the numbers to replace the volume (V) and the height (h) in the formula.

We already know that the volume is 320 square feet and that the height is 20 feet.

So we are left with a formula looking like this :

320 = π x (r²) x 20

⓷ Now we need to find the radius of the circular base! To do so, you need to solve this equation and isolate the “r”. Start by simplifying the right side :

320 = π x (r²) x 20
÷20 ÷20

↓

16 = π x r²
÷π ÷π

↓

5,09 ⋍ r²
√ √

↓

2,26 feet ⋍ r

⓸ Now that we knoe the value of the radius of the circular base, all there’s left to do is multiply this number by two in order to find the diameter of the water tank :

2,26 x 2 = d

↓

4,51 feet ⋍ d

So your final answer is : the diameter of the water tank is about 4,51 feet.

** Since I devided by “π”, all the answers I wrote from that point are rounded to the nearest hundredths just to make things easier to visualize, but I kept all of the decimals when doing the calculations. So it is possible that your answer might differ slightly from mine if you use the rounded numbers to calculate everything. Just keep that in mind!

I hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

Answer:

1.5.80 miles

2.9.80ft

3.56 inches

4.5.20 units

5. 13 units

6.5.40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒These questions are on the Pythagorean relationship

⇒General expression is ;

a²+b²=c² where a and b are values for the legs and c is the hypotenuse

1. Isaiah waked 3 miles north and 5 miles east.

Finding the distance from starting point we apply the equation;

a²+b²=c² where a=5 miles and b=3miles

5²+3²=c²

25+9=c²

34=c²

c=√34 = 5.80 miles

2.The ladder is leaning against the wall to form the hypotenuse side of 10 ft.The distance from the base to the ladder forms side a= 2ft. The question requires you to calculate the height b.

a²+b²=c²

2²+b²=10²

4+b²=100

b²=100-4

b=√96

b=9.80 ft

3. The television has a diagonal of 70 inches to represent side c and a height of 42 inches to represent the side a. The question requires you to find the width of  the television which represents the side b

a²+ b²=c²

42²+b²=70²

b²=70²-42²

b=√3136

c=56 inches

4. An equilateral triangle is one that has all its sides and angles equal. Here you have to introduce a perpendicular line from the apex point of the triangle to the base and get the distance a.The using the hypotenuse and the distance a, you can find the height/b.

c= 6 units and a=6/2= 3 units

a²+b²=c²     3²+ b²= 6²

9+b²=36

b²=36-9

b=√27 =5.20 units

5.In this question, you are given the height and the width of the right triangle thus apply the relationship as;

a²+b²=c²..........where a=5 and b=12

5²+12²=c²

25+144=c²⇒⇒⇒c=√169 =13 units

6. In this question, the height of the plant represents side b and the distance of the base from where the string is tied is side b.You are to find the length of the string which represents the hypotenuse side.

a²+b²=c²

5²+2²=c²

25+4=c²

29=c²

√29=c

c=5.40 ft
