Answer: 20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where x is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between Dayton and Belleville) and a and b are the other sides.

Replacing with the values given:

x^2 = 16^2 + 12^2

x^2 = 256+144

x^2 = 400

x = √400

x = 20 miles

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

The class sizes of the introductory psychology courses at a college are shown below 121,134,106,93,149,130,119,128 the college a
frozen [14]
Center : Mean  Before the introduction of the new course, center = average(121,134,106,93,149,130,119,128) = 122.5  After the introduction of the new course, center =  average(121,134,106,93,149,130,119,128,45) = 113.9  The center has moved to the left (if plotted in a graph) because of the low intake for the new course.  Spread before introduction of the new course :  Arrange the numbers in ascending order:  (93, 106,119, 121), (128, 130,134, 149) Q1=median(93,106,119,121) = 112.5 Q3=median(128,130,134,149) = 132  Spread = Interquartile range = Q3-Q1 = 19.5  After addition of the new course,

 (45,93, 106,119,) 121, (128, 130,134, 149)
 Q1=median(45,93,106,119)=99.5
 Q3=median (128, 130,134, 149)= 132
 Spread = Interquartile range = 132-99.5 =32.5 
 We see that the spread has increased after the addition of the new course.
