The area of triangle ABC ABC is 18 cm2. Side AC=4x AC = 4 x and side AB=x+3 AB = x + 3 . Given that angle A=30∘ , calculate the value of x

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the altitude from B to AC intersect at point D.  Then BD is a height of the triangle with base AC

ΔABD is a 30-60-90 triangle since m∠A = 30

Therefore, AB = 2(BD)  or BD = AB/2 = (x+3)/2

Area of the triangle = bh/2 = AC(BD)/2 = 4x(x + 3)/(2)(2)

= x(x + 3) = 18

(x + 6)(x - 3) = 0

x = -6  or x = 3

x cannot equal -6, so x = 3

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
