Adrian measured a line to be 13.8 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 13.1
inches, then what was the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a
percent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Measured length of a line = 13.8 inches

Actual length of the line = 13.1  inches

We need to find the percent error of the measurement. We can find it as follows :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{|measured-actual|}{actual}\times 100\\\\\%=\dfrac{13.8-13.1}{13.1}\times 100\\\\\%=5.34\%[/tex]

So, the required percentage is equal to 5.34%.

Drew's neighbor pays him $35 to mow
her lawn and she always gives him a 20%
tip. He decides to mow the lawn with his
friend and split the earnings evenly. How
much will each of them make?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok lets find 20% of 35 first.

20% of 35 is just 2 lots of 10%

10% of 35 is 3.5 if we move over the decimal

2 lots of 3.5 is 7

add the tip on

35 + 7 = 42

42 / 2 = 21

They each get $21

Colton sold a total of 28 tee shirts and sweatshirts as a fundraiser for his football team. If tee shirts cost 12 dollars each and sweatshirts cost 20 dollars each and he raised a total of 424 dollars how many tee shirts did he sell?

Answers

Answer:

11 sweatshirts and 17 t shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]t + s = 28\\12t = 20s = 424[/tex]

Step one: cancel out one variable. In this one, t.

[tex]-12(t + s = 28)\\-12t -12s =-336[/tex]

Now that we have that, subtract that from the other expression.

[tex]12t + 20s = 424\\-12t -12s = 336[/tex]

You should get:

[tex]8s = 88\\ s = 11[/tex]

Plug s in any expression

[tex]t + 11 = 28[/tex]

You should know where to go from there, I'm lazy :p

Then t = 17

A statue of George Washington is also in Druid Hill Park. If a girl stands 15 m away from the statue, and places a mirror 12 m from the statue (3 m from her feet), she can see the top of the statue in the mirror. The girl's height is 5.5 ft. How tall is the statue?

Answers

Answer:

The statue is 22ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will have two similar triangle rectangles.

One is made between the girl's feet, the mirror, and the girl's eyes.

So in this case the catheti are:

the distance between the girl and the mirror (3 m) and the height of the girl (5.5 ft)

The other triangle rectangle has the vertices:

The mirror, the base of the statue, and the top of the statue.

Such that the catheti of this triangle are the distance between the base of the statue and the mirror (12m) and the height of the statue (we want to know this, let's call this X for the moment).

Because the triangles are similar, this means that there is a proportionality constant between each correspondent side, let's call this k.

Then the distance between the girl and the mirror must be k times the distance between the base of the statue and the mirror:

3m = k*12m

And the height of the girl must be k times the height of the statue.

5.5ft = k*X

You can see that we have different units, this does not matter because k is a dimensionless constant.

With the first equation we can find the value of k

3m = k*12m

3m/12m = k

(3/12) = 1/4 = k

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

5.5ft = (1/4)*X

Solving this for X we get:

(5.5ft)*4 = X

22ft = X

The height of the statue is 22ft.

A construction worker drops a wrench from a height of 484 feel the function

h =

16x

+ 484 gives the height h of the wrench after a seconds When does the wrench hit the ground?

The wrench hits the ground blank

seconds after it is dropped

Answers

Answer:

30.25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the time at which the wrench hits the ground, you must recognize that the height of the wrench is 0 feet. If h represents the height, then 0 can be plugged in for h. The equation is now 0=16x+484. You then must subtract 484 from both sides, giving you -484=16x. You then divide both sides by 16 to give you x by itself. -484/16=-30.25. Because this is dealing with time and negative time does not exist, the negative sign on the 30.25 can be neglected.

4²+b² = 5²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the missing side.

The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.  Algebraically, this is represented as

a²+b² = c²

We have the measure of one leg, 4 in.  We also have the measure of the hypotenuse, 5 in.  This gives us

4²+b² = 5²

Which graph does not represent a function

Answers

Answer:

The graph that does not represent a function is;

The first graph of the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relationship, rule or law that maps the inputs 'x' the input set 'X' known as the domain, to exactly one output 'y' in the output set 'Y' known as the range

Therefore, a function maps an input to exactly one output

In a graph, the inputs are usually the x-variables, therefore the graph that maps the x-variables (in which an x-variable has) to more than one y-variable is the graph of the circle

In the graph of the circle, we have;

When x = 0 at the origin, y = 0

Similarly

When x = 0 at the maximum point, y = 4

Therefore, the graph of the circle does not represent a function.

At a particular time of a day, a-7-m high flagstaff casts a shadow which is 8.2m long. What is the height the building which cast a shadow 20.5m in length that the same moment

Answers

Answer:

17.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the formula

Height /Shadow

Height of flag staff = 7m

Shadow of flag staff = 8.2 m

Height of the building = x

Shadow of the building = 20.5

= 7/8.2 = x/20.5

Cross Multiply

8.2x = 7 × 20.5

x = 7 × 20.5/8.2

x = 143.5 / 8.2

x = 17.5m

The height of the building is 17.5 m
