Notice that based on the diagram, all of the sides of the triangle are the same length. (The dashes on the sides of the triangle show that the sides are of congruence.) This means that the triangle is an equilateral triangle. An important thing to note about equilateral triangles is that they all have angles of 60°. All angles in equivalent triangles are 60°.
This means that we can set
equal to 60 to solve for
:



Our answer is x = 9.
<span>Because a mean is an average, the means of each of the samples of 40 college presidents' incomes will have less of a skew than the actual income distribution in dollars of all of them. That is because outliers, like a president who is paid $2 million a year, will be averaged in with many others who are paid less. The shape of the curve of the means will depend upon how many different samples of 40 presidents are included, with the shape becoming more bell-like (normal distribution) the more random samples are included. Another consideration is how often the outliers are included and how big the income skew is that you start with. For example, if 2 college presidents are earning $2 million a year and the other 4,198 are earning $200,000 or less then the shape of your curve will depend greatly upon the number of times those two high earners are randomly selected and factored into the mean.</span>
