Law of sines can be used to solve this problem:

(note - let x represent the missing side length.)

1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x

2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°

(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>
x = 20.4788011072
rounded to nearest tenth = 20.5

The solution for right triangles is to use the basic trigonometric function:
For this problem, the length of the hypotenuse is given and we are looking for the side opposite, thus we will use sin x.
where 
x= 55 degrees
h=25 m
sin x= side opposite/hypotenuse
sin55=sideopposite/25m
25msin55=side opposite
side opposite = 20.5 m

Answer:

\bar X =\frac{2.3+3.1+2.8+1.7+0.9+4+2.1+1.2+3.6+0.2+2.4+3.2}{12}=2.29

s=1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

2.3 3.1 2.8

1.7 0.9 4.0

2.1 1.2 3.6

0.2 2.4 3.2

Since the data are assumedn normally distributed we can find the standard deviation with the following formula:

\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And we need to find the mean first with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X =\frac{2.3+3.1+2.8+1.7+0.9+4+2.1+1.2+3.6+0.2+2.4+3.2}{12}=2.29

And then we can calculate the deviation and we got:

s=1.09
