Answer:

20.485 Meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you wanna draw a diagram.  Start with the tower, then on the ground to the left (or right) draw a point.  The point will be labeled as 42 m away from the tower.  Now draw a line from that point to the top of the tower.  This makes your triangle, and that angle you just drew that touches the point is 26 degrees.

Now, since you have a right triangle you can use trig.  You know an angle and a side.  Specifically, relative to the 26 degree angle you know the adjacent angle and want the opposite, which is the tower.  So opposite and adjacent is tangent.  So you set up tan(26) = o/42 where o is the opposite side.  

So solving you get o = 20.485 meters

Hey there,

To solve this problem, let us first define what is mean and median. Mean is the average of all the numbers in the data set while the median is the number in the middle of the data set in ascending order. If we create a box plot for the data of Rome and New York, we can see that there is an outlier in the data for New York. Since New York has an outlier, so the mean is not a good representation on the central tendency of the data. The mean is skewed (distorted) by the outlier. So in this case it is better to use the median. While the Rome data is nice and symmetrical, it does not seem to have an outlier,  so we can use the mean for this data set.

Therefore the answer is:

The Rome data center is best described by the mean. The New York data center is best described by the median
