The triangles ABD, ADC and ABC are similar (AA stands for "angle, angle" and means that the triangles have two of their angles equal).

If two triangles have two of their angles equal, the triangles are similar.

Therefore the sides of triangles are in proportion.


\dfrac{c}{16}=\dfrac{9}{c}


cross multiply


c\cdot c=16\cdot9\\\\c^2=144\to c=\sqrt{144}\\\\c=12


\dfrac{a}{9+16}=\dfrac{16}{a}


cross multiply


a\cdot a=25\cdot16\\\\a^2=400\to a=\sqrt{400}\to a=20


The length of side b we can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:


b^2+20^2=(9+16)^2\\\\b^2+400=25^2\\\\b^2+400=625\ \ \ |-400\\\\b^2=225\to b=\sqrt{225}\to b=15


Answer:

a = 20; b = 15; c = 12

The three missing lengths are the left hypotenuse, x, the middle altitude, y, and the right hypotenuse, z.


9/y = y/16


y^2 = 9 * 16


y^2 = 144


y = 12


9^2 + 12^2 = x^2


x^2 = 225


x = 15


12^2 + 16^2 = z^2


z^2 = 400


z = 20


From left to right, the sides measure 15, 12, and 20 units.

What is the mean of this data set? {6, 11, 5, 2, 7} Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mean is 6.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "mean" is the same thing as the "average". Essentially, the question is asking for the average of the numbers.

So:

Add up all of the terms. [6 + 11 + 5 + 2 + 7] = 31

You find the average by dividing the sum of the terms (31) by the number of terms (5).

31/5 = 6.2

The mean is 6.2.

I hope this helped! :)
