The following data set shows the number of patients taking a placebo In a series of drug trials. If the total number of patients in each trial was the same, what was the range of patients taking placebos, and how might this have affected
the outcome of the trials?
[28, 36, 28, 20, 39, 31, 33, 34, 33)

it's both, now can you answer my most recent question?

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
