the mean of a set of data is an average value of a data, suppose
its an triangle pic ABC NOT <ABC
If you have 3 numbers x,y,z, the mean is 1/3*(x+y+z) — add up the numbers and divide by the number of numbers, in other words. Do the same with your x-coordinates from the triangle's vertices.
thass the thngs i dont know how to do all this. im not good at this questions
what are the 3 x-coordinates from the vertices?
"suppose <abc has vertices a(16,8), B(2,4),C(-6,12)" A(16,8) x-coordinate = B(2,4) x-coordinate = C(-6,12) x-coordinate = remember, it goes (x,y)
so i gotta devide this A B C by some number
first you have to identify the x-coordinates. A is at (16,8). What is the x-coordinate of (16,8) if the numbers represent (x,y)?
idk?
If I tell you that you have (16,8), and the pattern is (x,y), which number is x and which number is y?
ohhhh. my b. well x is 16 and y 8?
yes!!!!!! :-)
Okay, so you need to find all 3 x values from (16,8), (2,4), and (-6,12). what are they?
x is 16, 2,-6 and y is 8,4,12??
correct again! Okay, what is the sum of the x numbers?
i add all the x and all the y's>
No, we are only adding the x's
ok
"find the mean of the x-coordinates of the vertices."
16 + 2 + (-6) = ?
its 12.
yes! And there are 3 numbers, so we divide the sum by 3. What is 12/3?
