Answer:
m = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(m + 4) = 6 ← multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction
2(m + 4) = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )
m + 4 = 15 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
m = 11
This method avoids having to deal with awkward fractions
Radius: r=18 feet
Cental Angle: A=44°
Each cycle (one back and forth) lasts 12 seconds
In each cycle the pendulum swings:
L=(A/360°) 2 pi r
L=(44°/360°)(2)(3.141592654)(18 feet)
L=(0.122222222)(113.0973355 feet)
L=13.82300764 feet
Rounded to 3 decimal places:
L=13.823 feet
Each minute (60 seconds) the pendulum makes:
Number of cycles: n=(60 seconds) / (12 seconds)→n=5 cycles
Then, each minute, the pendulum swings:
T=nL=5(13.823 feet)→T=69.115 feet
Answer: Each minute, the pendulum swings 69.115 feet.

-98 is the mean (middle number in least to greatest format) and 6 is standard deviation (goes up by 6 each number)
