The average has to be at least 120 and at most 130
To calculate the average we need the sum of all values divided by the number of values, in this case, three (135, 145 and the third result).
120 ≤ (135 + 145 + n)/3 ≤ 130
In inequalities like this, what we change in one side, must be changed in the othe rside as well.
360 ≤ 280 + n ≤ 390
80 ≤ n ≤ 110
9514 1404 393
Answer:
A. √13
Step-by-step explanation:
You can make an educated guess and come to the right conclusion.
The triangle is nearly an equilateral triangle. A triangle with two sides 3 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 3. A triangle with two sides of 4 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 4.
So, the third side must be between 3 and 4. Here is an evaluation of the answer choices:
__
A -- between 3 and 4, the correct choice
B -- 3, too short
C -- 1.73, too short
D -- more than 4, too long
__
The question can be answered using your triangle solver app on your calculator, or using the Law of Cosines.
c = √(a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C))
c = √(3^2 +4^2 -2·3·4·(1/2)) = √(9 +16 -12)
c = √13 . . . . . length of the side opposite the 60° angle
The figure is shown below
From the figure
Angle 150 degree and angle p forms angles on a straight
Since the sum of angles on a straight line equals 180 degrees
Hence

Solve for p in the equation

Hence, p = 30
From the figure
Angle p and angle q are vertically opposite angles
Since vertically opposite angles are equal then

Hence, q = 30
Applying the rule of angles on a straight line
This implies

Substitute q = 30 into the equation

Solve for w

Hence, w = 90
