Answer:

a = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = $\frac{sum}{count}$

= $\frac{25+28+a+30+32}{5}$ = $\frac{115+a}{5}$

Then

$\frac{115+a}{5}$ = 27 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

115 + a = 135 ( subtract 115 from both sides )

a = 20

Answer:

x = $\sqrt{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of Δ ABC )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )

x² = 3 × (3 + 7) = 3 × 10 = 30 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{30}$
