Median is the middle number. To find median, the numbers must be ordered from least to greatest. The numbers are already ordered.
The middle numbers are 36 and 55, with 2 numbers on each side.
a, b, c, d, e, f
Add the 2 numbers and divide by 2
Now divide by 2
The median is 45.5
Is this a right triangle or not? If it's a right triangle, you could use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the 3rd side, which would be the hypotenuse. Thus, 14^2 + 4^2 = c^2, where c is the length of the hypot.
Then 196 + 16 = 212, and this is c^2. Then c, the length of the hypotenuse, is sqrt 212, or approx. 14.6 inches.
This does not agree with any of the four possible answers. Thus, you must look at each of these possible answers and eliminate any that could not be correct.
for example: if you take 10 inches and add 4 inches, you get 14 inches. The result would not be a triangle, but rather a straight line.

Answer:
15 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 71 divided by 5 equals to 14.2, you know that you need at least 14 boxes. However, you cannot have 14.2 boxes, because that implies that you have a fifth of a box, which cannot happen. But because each box can only hold up to 5 cards max, you need to get a 15th box for the last card.
