A wire is to be attached to support a telephone pole. Because of surrounding buildings, sidewalks, and​ roadways, the wire must

be anchored exactly 18 feet from the base of the pole. Telephone company workers have only 25 feet of​ cable, and 22 feet of that must be used to attach the cable to the pole and to the stake on the ground. How high from the base of the pole can the wire be​ attached?

This situation is a right triangle with the base measuring 18 and the hypotenuse 22.  We are looking for x, the height up the pole that the wire is going to be attached to.  We will use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing length.  22^2-18^2=x^2  and  484-324=x^2.  x^2 = 160 so x = 4 \sqrt{10} or 12.65 feet

The distance, y, in miles, traveled by a car for a certain amount of time, x, in hours, is shown in the graph below:
Kazeer [188]
Answer: The correct answer is the last choice.

In the first segment of the trip, the car goes from 0 to 2 hours and the line is moving up. Therefore, it traveled for 2 hours.

In the second segment, the line went straight horizontal for 1 hour. That means the distance didn't change, in other words it didn't move.

In the last segment, it moved up again for 2 hours.

<h3>What is the box and whisker plot?</h3>

A box and whisker plot is a method of abstracting a set of data that is approximated using an interval scale. It's also known as a box plot. These are primarily used to interpret data.

We have data on the box plot.

Because the dots decrease as the number line grows, the depicted dot plot is skewed right.

The graph's "tail" is pushed toward greater positive numbers. As a result, the mean is pushed towards the graph's tail and is higher than the median.

Thus, the data are skewed and there is an outlier statement first is correct.
