Let us calculate the median; the 6th observation is 20, so it is 20. We need the 6th observation so that out of the 11 observations we have 5 above the median and 5 below (or equal). We also have that then Q1 is the median of the lowest 5 observations, hence 19 (14,16,19,19,20, the 3rd observation is 19). Similarly, we get that the median for the upper half of the observations, Q3 namely, is 22 (21,21,22,22,23, the 3rd observation is 22). Thus, the interquartile range is 3=Q3-Q1. According to our calculations, all observations are wrong.
If the question is 7 x 200+50+6 it equals 1792
The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
