KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure in the question was split into the triangles in the attachment to the solution.

Now applying the principle of similar triangles, we have:

\frac{16}{x} = \frac{x}{9}

cross-multiplying, we have:

x^{2} = 16*9 = 144

solving for x,

x = 12

arc length = radius*theta
----
Your Problem:
120 degrees = 120(pi/180) = (2/3)pi radians

circumference = 2pi*r
24 = 2pi*r
r = 12/pi
-------------
arc length = (12/pi)(2/3)pi = 8 units

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set?
Pepsi [2]
As you probably know there is a difference between mean and median -- the mean acts as a measure of the average, and on the other hand median measures the middle number. The median in this is 15 and the mean is also 15.
