Area Quadrilateral
1. **Problem 1: Area of quadrilateral EFGH**
The quadrilateral has sides EH = 10 cm (vertical), HG = 11 cm (horizontal), and GF = 5 cm (right vertical segment tilted). Right angles are at H and F, and diagonal EG is drawn.
2. To find the area, split the quadrilateral into two right triangles by diagonal EG.
3. Use the given hint: $5 \times \tan 47^\circ = 5 \times 1.0724 = 5.362$ (approx). This suggests the horizontal projection of GF is about 5.362 cm.
4. The total horizontal length EH + HG = 10 + 11 = 21 cm, but since EH is vertical, the base is HG = 11 cm.
5. Calculate the area of triangle EHG (right angle at H):
$$\text{Area}_{EHG} = \frac{1}{2} \times EH \times HG = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 11 = 55 \text{ cm}^2$$
6. Calculate the area of triangle GEF (right angle at F):
Height = 5 cm (GF), base = horizontal projection $5.362$ cm
$$\text{Area}_{GEF} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 5.362 = 13.405 \text{ cm}^2$$
7. Total area of quadrilateral EFGH:
$$55 + 13.405 = 68.405 \approx 68.4 \text{ cm}^2$$

1. **Problem 2: Median of numbers 3.8, 7.5, 9.4, 5.3, 3.8, 8.9**
2. Sort the numbers:
$$3.8, 3.8, 5.3, 7.5, 8.9, 9.4$$
3. Median is the average of the middle two numbers (3rd and 4th):
$$\frac{5.3 + 7.5}{2} = \frac{12.8}{2} = 6.4$$

1. **Problem 3: Distance p between two parallel sides of a regular hexagon with side 6.3 cm**
2. The distance between two parallel sides (the height) of a regular hexagon is:
$$p = \text{side} \times \sqrt{3} = 6.3 \times 1.732 = 10.9116$$
3. Rounded to 2 d.p.:
$$p = 10.91 \text{ cm}$$

1. **Problem 4: Mean of other 5 temperatures given mean of 6 days is 2.1 and one day is 3.1**
2. Total sum of 6 days:
$$6 \times 2.1 = 12.6$$
3. Sum of other 5 days:
$$12.6 - 3.1 = 9.5$$
4. Mean of other 5 days:
$$\frac{9.5}{5} = 1.9$$

1. **Problem 5: Simplify $x$ in form $a + b\sqrt{c}$ given right triangle with hypotenuse $2x$, leg $x+10$, and angle opposite leg $30^\circ$**
2. Using sine definition:
$$\sin 30^\circ = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{x+10}{2x}$$
3. Since $\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$, set equation:
$$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x+10}{2x}$$
4. Cross multiply:
$$2x \times \frac{1}{2} = x + 10 \Rightarrow x = x + 10$$
This is impossible, so check cosine instead (angle adjacent to leg $x+10$):
5. Using cosine:
$$\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{x+10}{2x}$$
6. $\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, so:
$$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{x+10}{2x}$$
7. Cross multiply:
$$2x \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = x + 10 \Rightarrow x \sqrt{3} = x + 10$$
8. Rearrange:
$$x \sqrt{3} - x = 10$$
$$x(\sqrt{3} - 1) = 10$$
9. Solve for $x$:
$$x = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3} - 1}$$
10. Rationalize denominator:
$$x = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3} - 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = \frac{10(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3})^2 - 1^2} = \frac{10(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{3 - 1} = \frac{10(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{2}$$
11. Simplify:
$$x = 5(\sqrt{3} + 1) = 5 + 5\sqrt{3}$$
12. Therefore:
$$a = 5, b = 5, c = 3$$
