The mean length of 6 childrens' big finger is 6.7cm.
the mean length of 11 adults' big finger is 14.3cm.
what is the mean length (rounded to 2 dp) of these 17 people's big finger?
cm

New mean length of these 17 people=11.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the total length of children's fingers

L=l×n

where;

L=total length (cm)

l=mean length (cm)

n=number of children

replacing;

L=6.7×6=40.2 cm

The total children's fingers length=40.2 cm

Step 2: Determine the total length of adults fingers

total length of adults fingers=mean length of adults fingers×number of adults

where;

mean length of adults=14.3

number of adults=11

replacing;

total length of adults fingers=(14.3×11)=157.3 cm

Step 3: Determine the new mean length

new mean length=total length of adults and children fingers/number of adults and children

where;

total length of adults and children fingers=157.3+40.2=197.5 cm

number of adults and children=11+6=17

replacing;

new mean length=197.5/17=11.62

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
