<h3>Answer: Choice A) 11.4</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the table below.
The first step is to find the midpoint of each interval.
To do that, we add up the endpoints and divide by 2. The midpoint of the interval from 2 to 6 is 4 because (2+6)/2 = 8/2 = 4. Repeat these steps for the other intervals to find that the remaining midpoints are: 8, 12, 16, 20.
Overall, the midpoints from top to bottom are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
Note how the midpoints are incrementing by 4 each time, which is the same distance between each successive left endpoint (and right endpoint endpoints as well).
Let's say m represents the set of midpoints which I'll form in the third column. Multiply the frequency column f by each corresponding midpoint m. The result fm forms the fourth column.
Add up everything in that fourth column to get 1140. We then divide that by the sum of the frequencies (100) to get 1140/100 = 11.4 which is the final answer. The average weight is 11.4 pounds.

Answer:
From the graph attached, we know that by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like
and
.
We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, and
are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.
They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that and
together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is,
If we substitute for
, we have
, which means that
and
are also supplementary by definition.
