Answer:

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal sides' length be "x"

Let the third side length be "y"

Third side (y) is 2 LESS THAN TWICE the equal side, so we can write:

y = 2x - 2

The perimeter is 38. The perimeters is the sum of all three sides. So we can write:

x + x + y = 38

Replacing y with 2nd equation, we have:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38

Now, we can solve this for x first:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38\\x+x+2x-2=38\\4x=38+2\\4x=40\\x=10

Now, y is:

y = 2x - 2

y = 2(10) - 2

y = 20 - 2

y = 18

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

The mean is the average. To find it, you add all of the numbers together.

2 + 8.7 + 11.9 + 3.3 + 4.2 + 2.2 + 13.4 = 45.7

Now you divide the total by the amount of numbers you added. Because you added 7 numbers, you divide 45.7 by 7.

45.7 ÷ 7 = 6.52 (This is the mean.)

To find the median you have to put all of the numbers in order of least to greatest.

2   2.2   3.3   4.2   8.7   11.9   13.4

The median is the number in the very middle. In this case, it is 4.2.
