A fund-raising company is putting together a student kit of candy bars for a school to use in its annual support campaign. To maximize sales, the company will put more of the most popular candy bar sold in an average day in each kit. The company’s research shows that of the five most popular candies, local vending machines sell 100 of Candy A, 14 of Candy B, 50 of Candy C, 6 of Candy D, and 45 of Candy E on an average day. Which candy on average is the most popular candy? Which averaging method did you use?

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

hi there!

1. define: accuracy

a) how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value.

hope this : )
