Answer:
distance across the pond: 13 yd
distance walked by Garret: 12 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
- distance across the pond: x yd
- distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
- distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd
A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 5² + (x-1)²
x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1
0 = 26 - 2x
x = 13
12x = 10x + 3
Subtract 10x from both sides
2x = 3
Divide by two on each side
x = 3/2 or 1 1/2 hours
Distance of the trip:
12 * 2 * 3/2 = 36 miles
How long does the trip take:
3/2 + 3/2 + 3/10 = 3 3/10 hours
Median is the middle number.
Rearrange the numbers to smallest to biggest.
70, 77, 80, _, 82, 87, 88
If the median of the data set is 81 the middle number needs to be 81.
So the missing number is 81.
70, 77, 80, 81, 82, 87, 88

27 divided by 3 (j) is 9. If j=3 then plug in 3 for the equation
