A boy stands 1 meter away from a lamppost. He is 1.8 meters tall and casts a shadow 2 meters long in the light from the lamp
The diagram is attached below using the given information
We have two similar triangle
Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE. So the sides are in proportional
AC = AB + BC = 3m
2x = 1.8 * 3 (cross multiply)
2x = 5.4
Divide by 2 on both sides
x = 2.7
Height of Lamppost is 2.7 meter
<h3>Answer: 6.282</h3>
Explanation:
Refer to the table below. I've added a third row where I multiplied each x value with its corresponding frequency value f. We can refer to this row as the xf row.
Once we know the xf values, we add them up to get 245.
We'll then divide that result over the sum of the frequency values (add everything in the second row). The sum of the frequency values is 39.
So the mean is approximately: 245/39 = 6.282051 which rounds to 6.282
Notice that this mean value is fairly close to the x value which has the highest frequency.
