2a

tan37=r/8

r=8tan37

r≈6 in rise per step (to nearest whole inch)

2b

11*12/6=22 steps needed to climb the 11 ft to the entrance

...

3a

tanα=14/20

α=arctan(7/10)

α≈35° (to nearest whole degree)

..

3b

tanα=21/17

α=arctan(21/17)

α≈51° (to nearest degree)

The mean of 15 numbers is 12. An extra number is included and the mean increases to 13. What the extra number?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of 15 numbers = 12

Then , the sum of the numbers = 12x15 = 180

Let the extra number included be x , then

The new sum = x + 180

And the new total number will increase from 15 to 16

new mean = 13 , so we have :

\frac{x+180}{16} = 13

x+ 180 = 16(13)

x + 180 = 208

x = 208 - 180

x = 28

therefore , the extra number is 28
