The answer for 6440/28 is 240.
One square grid has an area of 400.
Another square grid has an area of 256.
The area of the third grid can be:
(squares in third grid) + 256 = 400
OR
256 + 400 = (squares in third grid)
We get this by applying the Pythagorean theorem.
So, the squares in the third grid can either be 144 or 656. And we only have 144 as an option, so that is your answer.
Your final answer is D. 144.
The mean decreases, think about it, if every single value in a data set was decreased by the same number, the average would also go down by the same number
The median would also go down, because the value in the middle of the data set would now be smaller than before
The mode would also decrease, because the value that showed up the most in the data set has now also been decreased
The range, however, stays the same. If the lowest value in a data set was 3 and the highest was 10 and you subtracted 2 from each value in the data set, you would have the lowest at 1 and the highest at 8. But, 10-3 still equals 8-1, so the range is unchanged
