Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you write out the data set, it looks like this:

5, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10

The median means the exact middle of the data set. In this case, it falls between the 8 and the 9, so the middle would be 8.5, so that's the median of the set. I hope this helps :)

Answer:

The median is 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle number in a data set. For example, if you had a data set:

2, 2, 3, 4, 4

You would go forwards and backwards in the set until you found the middle number, which is 3. 3 would be the median.

However, if there is no middle number (there are an even number of points in the set), you add the two remaining numbers and divide it by two.

For example, if the final two numbers were:

2, 6

You would add 2 and 6 to get 8, and divide by 2, and you get the median 4.

In this set, we have

5, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10.

The final two numbers are 8 and 9, so you add 8+9=17, divided by 2 = 8.5.

Answer:

1296mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of the Rectangular Prism to the left on top of the box:

Area of square = lw, 9mm * 9mm = 81mm, then multiply by 2 because 2 of the squares are a part of the surface, giving 162mm^2

Area of a rectangle =lw, 9mm * 9mm = 81mm, then multiply by 2 again, because 2 rectangles are a part of the surface, giving 162mm^2

So, the total surface area of the rectangular prism to the left on top, is 324mm^2

Surface Area of the Triangular Prism:

Area of a triangle: 1/2bh, and our base length would be 12, because we have to subtract 9 from 21 since the base length of the triangle isn't stated. Anyways, A = 1/2bh, so A = 1/2(12)(9) = 54mm^2, but multiply by two, so we get 108mm^2.

Area of the rectangle: lw, so 15mm * 9mm = 135mm^2

So, the total surface area of the triangular prism is 243mm^2

Surface Area of the Rectangular Prism at the bottom:

Area of the long rectangles in front = lw, 21mm * 9mm = 189mm^2, multiply by 2, 378mm^2

Area of the rectangles to the side = lw, 9mm * 9mm = 81mm^2, multiply by 2, 162mm^2

Area of the rectangle at the very bottom = lw, 21mm * 9mm = 189mm^2

So, the total surface area of the rectangular prism at the bottom is 729mm^2

Add all the total surface areas of each shape to get the total surface area of the figure:

324mm^2 + 243mm^2 + 729mm^2 = 1296mm^2

The surface area of the figure above is 1296mm^2
