We can look at 2 similar triangles.
1st triangle has legs: a vertical pole and its shadow, and
2nd triangle has legs legs : a child and his(her) shadow.
We can write a proportion:
height of a pole/height of a child= shadow of a pole/shadow of a child
8/4 = 5/shadow of a child
shadow of a child=(5*4)/8=5/2 ft
Answer: 5/2 ft
Answer:
The Median is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The median is the middle number in a set of data, when the data has been written in size order.
0 1 2 4 <u>5 5</u> 5 6 6 6
As there is an even number of data the median is the average of the middle two values. As the middle 2 values are both 5, then the average of these is also 5. Therefore, the median is 5.
To find the mean of the set of data, add all the values together then divide by the number of data values:
(0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6) ÷ 10 = 4
Therefore, the mean is 4.
The Median is a better measure of central tendency as extreme values (outliers) do not affect it. From inspection of the dot plot, the majority of the data values are 5 and 6. Therefore, the lower values *could* be outliers, so 5 is a more realistic measure of central tendency.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- Fill the 3-cup container and pour the contents into the 5-cup container.
-This leaves room for 2 cups in the 5-cup container.
- Fill the 3-cup container again and pour the contents in the 5-cup container.
-This now fills the 5-cup container with 2 more cups.
- This leaves one cup left in the 3-cup container
