Answer:

x ≈ 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the triangle is right then use Pythagoras' identity.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

x² + 15² = 21²

x² + 225 = 441 ( subtract 225 from both sides )

x² = 216 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{216}$ ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Two sets of quadratic expressions are shown below in various forms: Line 1: x2 + 3x + 2 (x + 1)(x + 2) (x + 1.5)2 − 0.25 Line 2:

Rainbow [258]

Line 1:
Expanding the vertex form, we have
x² + 2·1.5x + 1.5² - 0.25 = x² +3x +2
Expanding the factored form, we have
x² +(1+2)x +1·2 = x² +3x +2
Comparing these to x² +3x +2, we find ...
• the three expressions are equivalent on Line 1

Line 2:
Expanding the vertex form, we have
x² +2·2.5x +2.5² +6.25 = x² +5x +12.5
Expanding the factored form, we have
x² +(2+3)x +2·3 = x² +5x +6
Comparing these to x² +5x +6, we find ...
• the three expressions are NOT equivalent on Line 2

The appropriate choice is
Line 1 only

The following box plot represents the average heights of the students in Mrs. Hill's sixth grade math class.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the students in Mrs. Hill's class are between 147 centimeters and 154 centimeters tall. (correct)

The median height of the students in Mrs. Hill's class is 152 centimeters. (correct)

The interquartile range of this data set is 15 centimeters. (incorrect, 154-147=17 cm)

The mean height of the students in Mrs. Hill's class is 152.5 centimeters. (we don't get to know the mean height from the graph).
