KT is twice the length of TM.
Multiply TM by 2:
TM = 2y +6
Now set KT and TM to equal and solve:
5y +3 = 2y +6
Subtract 3 from each side:
5y = 2y +3
Subtract 2y from each side:
3y = 3
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 3/3
y = 1
The answer is C.
The answer would be the median because you use the box plot to find the median. its the whole point of a box plot :)
Larger triangle’s base length
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 3^2 = 8^2
a^2 = 8^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(55)
a = sqrt(55)
__________________
Smaller triangle’s base length:
The same formula applies.
a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2
a^2 = 5^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(16)
a = 4
____________
The finale!
Add the two side lengths of a, which is sqrt(55) + 4 (exact answer)
or... 11.416 (unrounded to thousandths place)
Good luck to you!
