Aisha measures the length of a sheet of paper and finds that it is 29 cm long. The label on the package indicates that the paper length is 32 cm. Calculate the percentage error in the measurement.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

just do the step by step and you'll probably get it because it's quite simple but hard for me to explain so just read this!

Step-by-step explanation:

In making any measurement, the chances are that our results will not be absolutely accurate.  We can often compare our results with some standard or accepted value to see how closely they agree.  But how much error can be allowed before the result becomes meaningless?

As you may guess, the amount of error that is acceptable varies with the situation.  Suppose you measure the distance on a map between your Scarsdale and Mamaroneck and you get a result of 5 miles.  If the actual distance is 5 1/2 miles, the chances are this error will have no effect on the trip between the two towns. But if the same degree of error existed in the calculations used to send astronauts to the moon, those people would be in big trouble!

Percentage Error =  measured value - accepted value  x 100%

                                             accepted value          

Suppose, you measured the length of a table and obtained a measurement of 202 cm.  A friend also measures the table and obtains a result of 198 cm. To calculate the percentage error in each of the measurements, you need to know the "correct' or “accepted value” of the length of the table. After consulting the manufacturer’s catalog, you find that the table's length is listed as 200 cm in length. This will be used as the accepted value in our calculation.

The calculations of percentage error for the two measurements are shown below. Both measurements show an error of 1%. Your friend has made a measurement which is on the low side of the accepted value and is therefore, negative. You, on the other hand, have made an error on the high side of the accepted value and it is positive.

I dont know the answer but I hope this helped!

multiply each value of the C. by 1,000 to get the # of C.s divide the # of C.s / T.s this gives you C.s per T.Convert to ratio formatthere is on average 15 to 20 C.s per T.5250/273 = 14.0756250/325 = 19.2307250/377 = 19.2309250/273 = 19.230    6250  =  y

These are linear equations, so there is x and y. On number one the first thing they plotted was (3,8) so in a function table the 3 would be on the left side and the 8 would be on the right side. I’ll leave you with the rule of the first one, if the rule is times 2 plus to the how would you put it in a function table.

The first thing that you would put into the function table on the first question would be as I said earlier 3 and then 8. The rule is the rate. Using a function table will be very helpful (That’s why I keep mentioning one). Let me know if this helps.

The floor of the entryway to an office building will be triangular. Two angles of the triangle will measure 40°, and the side between them will have a length of 8 meters. Make a scale drawing of the entryway using a scale of 1 cm : 2 m. Explain how you made your drawing.

Answers

Answer: The drawing in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation: we know that

An isosceles triangle, has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

In this problem, the floor of the entryway to an office building is in the shape of an isosceles triangle

step 1

Find the measure of the vertex angle

Remember that

The sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

Let

x ---> the measure of the vertex angle of triangle

step 2

Find the length of the congruent sides of triangle

Applying the law of sines

Let

c ----> the length of one congruent side

we have

substitute

solve for b

step 2

Make a scale drawing of the entryway

The scale drawing is 1 cm : 2 cm

That means

1 cm in the drawing represent 2 cm in the actual

or

1 cm in the drawing represent 0.02 m in the actual

Find the dimensions in the drawing

For a=8 m

For b=5.22 m

step 3

Draw the triangle

The drawing is attached

Answers

Answer:

just do this 24.76min. 23.24 then see what u have got for

Answer:

c - 23.24 = 24.76 (the first option)

48 cookies

Explanation:

Profit is equal to revenue(amount made) minus costs, or r - cost = p. The revenue is 1*cookies sold, or c. So, c - 23.24 = 24.76.

Solving is relatively simple,

c - 23.24 = 24.76

c = 48 (add 23.34 to both sides)
