Answer:

1.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual Length = 14.7 inches

Wrong Measurement = 14,5 inches

Error in Measurement = 14.7 -14.5 =0.2 inches

Percentage Error = (Error in Measurement/Actual Value) X 100

=(0.2/14.7) X 100

=0.0136 X 100

=1.36%

Percentage Error=1.4% (to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

%Error = |14.5 - 14.7|/14.7 × 100% = 0.2/14.7 × 100%

%Error = 1.36 %

To the nearest tenth of the percent

%Error = 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error is used to determine how accurate a measurement is, it can be written mathematically as;

%Error = |measured - actual value|/actual value × 100%

Given;

Measured value = 14.5 inch

Actual value = 14.7 Inch

%Error = |14.5 - 14.7|/14.7 × 100% = 0.2/14.7 × 100%

%Error = 1.36 %

To the nearest tenth of the percent

%Error = 0%

Please help me IDK how to do this!!!!!!

A parallelogram should have 2 sets of parallel lines. Let's find the slope of line PQ and RS to test.

PQ:
(4-2)/(1-(-3))
2/4
1/2

RS:
(2-0)/(3-1)
2/2
1

Because 1 does not equal 1/2 (the slopes are different) the lines are not parallel. Thus, the figure is not a parallelogram.

PLZ ANSWER THIS ITS DUE TODAY I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!!!!
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

In many instances, the lyrics to folk songs came from existing nursery rhymes or poems, and some of the nursery rhymes had variations, depending on region or time. Thus, these folk songs may have lyrics that are slightly different from those you are familiar with.

Therefore, in my opinion, I think that Nursery songs can be considered folk music.

Im so so so so sorry if this is wrong or not the answer you were looking for. i truly am. hopefully this will be good
