Answer:

The bird is at a height of 1.95 km from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the distance between susan and mark is 7 km and bird is between  susan and mark. The angles of elevation they make are 20º and 50º, respectively.

Draw a perpendicular line from the bird on base.

Let the distance of susan from and the altitude be x.

In triangle ABS,

tan(20^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{x}

tan(20^{\circ})x=AB

0.364x=AB       ..... (1)

In triangle ABM,

tan(50^{\circ})=\frac{AB}{7-x}

1.192(7-x)=AB     ..... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

0.364x=1.192(7-x)

1.556x=8342

x=5.36

The length of AB is,

AB=0.364(5.36)=1.95147\approx 1.95

Therefore, the he bird is at a height of 1.95 km from the ground.

Answer:

a) we have the numbers 0, 2, 3, 5, 5. The mean and the median are both 3

b) we have the numbers 0, 0, 3, 5, 7. The mean and the median are both 3

In both cases the mean and the median are 3, but the mode differs. The mean and the median do not uniquely determine the mode.
