Answer:
a = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is calculated as
mean = 
=
= 
Then
= 27 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )
115 + a = 135 ( subtract 115 from both sides )
a = 20
I may not be correct but ok pretty sure it’s 56
Answer: 3528.25
Step-by-step explanation:Make a sideview sketch
you should have 2 triangles, one right-angled containing the height and a scalene triangle with angles 24° , 153° (the supplement of 27°) and 3°
the side opposite the 3° angle is 1000
by let the side opposite the 24° be x, (also the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle)
x/sin24 = 1000/sin3
x = 1000sin24/sin3
let the height of the mountain be h
sin 27 = h/x
h = x sin27 = (1000sin24/sin3)(sin27)
= 3528.25
Suppose you can factorize:

Then by expanding the right side, you have

which means in this case, you have to have
