Answer:

The answer is 87.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, line up the data in order: 81, 83, 91, 94. Next, take off the numbers at the ends until you reach the middle number. Since there is no middle number in this problem, you have to find out the middle of 83 and 91 by lining them up in order: 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91. The answer would then be 87.

Answer:

To find the median, the data should be arranged in order from least to greatest. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.

81,83,91,94

since its an even number add up the two middle numbers 83 and 91 to equal 174 then divide by two to have the median of 87

Choose two positive integers a and b, making sure that a<5 and b>80 . The width of a rectangular computer screen is a inch

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Dimensions of the screen are a minimum of 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. The difference between the height and width will be 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

$Height = H$

$Width = H + a$

$Area = Height x Width$

$b = H * (H + a)$

$b = H^{2} + aH$

$H^{2} + aH > 80$

$H^{2} + aH - 80 > 0$

a<5 means 'a' can be a = 1, 2, 3, 4

Solving for H for each option of 'a' will give values of 'H' using the quadratic formula below

$H = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

As 'a' and 'b' must be positive integers, H and W must be positive integers as well,

$a = 1, H = 8.46, H = -9.46$

$a = 2, H = 8, H = -10$

$a = 3, H = 7.57, H = -10.57$

$a = 4, H = 7.17, H = -11.17$

Based on above possible answers:

$a=2, H=8$

$W = H + a$

$W = 8 + 2$

$W = 10$

Dimensions of the screen are a minimum of 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. The difference between the height and width will be 2 inches

Answer:

Step 3: The measure of angle DAB is 60°. Reason: Since DAE is a right angle, and EAB is 30 degrees, 90 - 30 is 60. (Just find the reason that is related to this statement).

Step 4: The measure of angle ABC is 130°. Reason: Same-side Interior Angles Theorem
