the mean of the remaining two scores would be 83.5 points. If the lowest score is taken away, the mean of the remaining two scores would be 89 points. What is the highest score?

Answer:

The highest score is 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the highest score be denoted by, <em>A</em>, the lowest score be, <em>B</em> and the middle score be <em>X</em>.

Then,

A + X + B = 87 × 3 = 261 ...(i)

X + B = 83.5 × 2 = 167 ...(ii)

⇒ B = 167 - X ...(iii)

A + X = 89 × 2 = 178 ...(iv)

⇒ A = 178 - X ...(v)

Substitute (iii) and (v) in (i) and solve for <em>X</em> as follows:

A + X + B = 261

178 - X + X + 167 - X = 261

345 - X = 261

X = 84

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (iii) and solve for B as follows:

B = 167 - X

   = 167 - 84

   = 83

Substitute the value of <em>X</em> in (v) and solve for A as follows:

A = 178 - X

   = 178 - 84

   = 94

Thus, the highest score is 94.

Please help me on this question
Alina [70]

Answer:

DE = 13.4 cm  (to 1 decimal place)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABCD is a square

BC = AC = 12 cm    (opposite sides of a square are congruent)

E is midpoint of BC   (given)

BE = EC  = 12/2 = 6 cm

CD = AB = 12 cm   (opposite sides of a square are congruent)

angle ECD is a right angle (interior angles of a square are 90 deg.)

Consider right triangle ECD

DE = sqrt(EC^2+CD^2)    ............. pythagorean theorem

= sqrt(6^2+12^2)

= sqrt ( 36+144 )

= sqrt (180)

= 2 sqrt(45)

= 13.416 (to three dec. places)
