Simple just do normal simple algebra:)
Answer:
Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding up and dividing to find the mean.
We simply add up all of the individual grades, get the total, and then divide by the number of students in the class.

Imagine you lay the 9 and 6 logs side by side. The 6 is 3 feet short of the 9.
This rules out two as it is 1 foot short.
3 is also ruled out as there would be no dimension to the flower bed - it would be impossible to make a triangle.
Now do the reverse - use on of the remaining logs to test if they would work.
Try 15; 9 + 6 = 15 but we're looking to make a larger number
9 + 6 = 15 > 13 feet
The only log it can be is C 13 feet.
The problem is using a right triangle, it means we can use the Pythagorean theorem in solving the problem. We have two possible measurements for the third side.
First length, when the third side is the hypotenuse:
x ² = 15² + 12²
x = 19.21
Second possible length, when the third leg is either an adjacent or base side:
15² = x² + 12²
x = 9
Therefore, the difference between the two possible answers are shown below:
Difference = 19.21 - 9 = 10.21
