Mary lives on a corner lot. The neighborhood children have been cutting diagonally across her lawn instead of walking around the yard. If the diagonal distance across the lawn is 50 ft and the longer part of the sidewalk is twice the shorter length, how many feet are the children saving by cutting the lawn? round to the nearest foot if necessary.

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the diagonal=50 feet

Let the shorter part of the sidewalk =x

Since the longer part of the sidewalk is twice the shorter length,

Length of the longer part of the sidewalk =2x

First, we determine the value of x.

Using Pythagoras Theorem and noting that the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

The length of the shorter side =

The length of the longer side =

Total Distance =

Difference in Distance

67-50=17 feet

The children are saving 17 feet by cutting the lawn diagonally.

78.59 is the mean

step-by-step explanation:

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
