In science class, Scott estimates the mass of a sample to be 109 grams. The actual mass of
the sample is 104 grams. Find the percent error of Scott's estimate. Round your answer to
the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Percent of error = 4.80% (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of sample = 109 gram

Actual mass of sample = 104 gram

Find:

Percent of error.

Computation:

Error = Mass of sample - Actual mass of sample

Error = 109 gram - 104 gram

Error =5 gram

Percent of error = (Error / Actual mass of sample)100

Percent of error = (5 / 104)100

Percent of error = 4.80% (Approx)

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 21 feet less than the other leg. Find the length of the two legs if the hypotenuse is 39 feet.

Answers

Answer:

leg 1= 36  feet

leg2 = 15  feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between Doreen’s house and the tower) and a and b are the other legs.  

leg1 = x

leg2 = x-21 (21 feet less than the other leg)

Replacing with the values given:  

39^2 = x^2 + (x-21)^2  

1,521 = x^2 + x^2 -42x +441

0 = 2x^2 -42x +441-1,521

0= 2x^2 -42x -1,080

For: ax2+ bx + c  

x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a  (quadratic formula)

Replacing with the values given:  

x=-(-42)± √(-42)²-4(2)-1080] /2(2)  

x= 42± √10,404] /4

x = 42± 102 /4

Positive:

x = 42+102 /4 = 36

leg 1= 36

leg2 = 36-21 =15

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

The length of shorter leg is 15 feet and other leg is 36 feet.

Pythagoras theorem:

Let us consider that, length of shorter leg is x feet.

So that, length of other leg is [tex](x+21)[/tex] feet.

It is given that, the hypotenuse is 39 feet.

Apply Pythagoras theorem,

                 [tex]x^{2} +(x+21)^{2} =(39)^{2}\\ \\x^{2} +x^{2} +441+42x=1521\\\\2x^{2} +42x-1080=0\\\\x=15 ,-36[/tex]

Since, side can not be negative.

So that, we have to consider x=15 feet.

Length of other leg[tex]=x+21=15+21=36feet[/tex]

Simplify 1/4(8x+16)+4x.

Answers

Answer:

6x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is distribute 1/4 into the parenthesis. So 1/4 times 8x and 16. Which will give you 2x and 4. Then add like terms which will be 2x + 4x which is 6x. Then you have the 4 left over so your new equation is 6x+4.

Apply associate property:

[tex]A = \frac{1}{4} *8x + \frac{1}{4} *16 + 4x[/tex]

Simplify the first two components:

In the diagram shown,

DE = 4cm,
Area of ABCE = 60cm^2,
Area of ABCD = 48cm^2,
Work out the values of f and g.
You must show all your working.

Answers

The values of f and g are;

f = 6

f = 6g = 8

We are given the trapezium ABCE where;

AD is parallel to BC

DE = 4 cm

Area of ABCE = 60 cm²

Area of ABCD = 48 cm²

f and g are sides of the rectangle ABCD. Thus;

fg = 48 - - - (eq 1)

Also,for the trapezium ABCE;

½(g + g + 4)f = 60

(2g + 4)f = 120 - - - (eq 2)

From eq 1, f = 48/g

Thus;

(2g + 4) × (48/g) = 120

96 + 192/g = 120

192/g = 120 - 96

192/g = 24

g = 192/24

g = 8

Thus;

8f = 48

f = 48/8

M is directly proportional to r3
When r = 4, M = 160
a) Work out the value of M when r = 2.​

Answers

Answer:

M = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is directly proportional to r³ then the equation relating them is

M = kr³ ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when r = 4, M = 160, that is

160 = k × 4³ = 64k (divide both sides by 64 )

2.5 = k

M = 2.5r³ ← equation of proportion

When r = 2, then

M = 2.5 × 2³ = 2.5 × 8 = 20

Answer:

M<varies>r³

M=kr³(k= constant)

when M=160,r=4

160=k(4)³

160=64k

k=2.5

therefore,M=2.5r³

when r=2

M=2.5r³

M=2.5(2)³

M=2.5(8)

M=20
