Answer:

A. 7.2 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the base is 7.2 centimeters. The area of a rectangle is length*width

The length is unknown but the area is known. To find the length, all we have to do is divide the area from the height.

The working is as follows :

Area = 90 cm²

Height = 12.5 cm

Length = ?

Length = Area ÷ Height

= 90 ÷ 12.5

= 7.2cm

How can emily use the above to make an estimate for 576 ÷8

Grace [21]

Given the equation :

$576\div8$

We will use estimation to find the value of the given expression

So, the best estimation for the number 576 is = 600

The best estimation for the number 8 is = 10

So, the given expression is approximately = 600 ÷ 10 = 60

===================================================================

We can calculate the error of the approximation as following :

The actual value is : 576 ÷ 8 = 72

So, the difference is = 72 - 60 = 12

so, the percentage of error will be :

$\frac{12}{72}\cdot100=16.7\%$

three tanks are capable of holding 108 litres, 168 litres and 180 litres of milk. determine the capacity of the greatest vessel

SpyIntel [72]

A vessel of 7,560 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

This means finding the Least Common Multiple for;

108 168 180

We begin by finding the multiples of each number;

Multiples of 108:

108, 216, 324, 432, 540, 648, 756, 864, 972, 1080, 1188, 1296, 1404, 1512, 1620, 1728, 1836, 1944, 2052, 2160, 2268, 2376, 2484, 2592, 2700, 2808, 2916, 3024, 3132, 3240, 3348, 3456, 3564, 3672, 3780, 3888, 3996, 4104, 4212, 4320, 4428, 4536, 4644, 4752, 4860, 4968, 5076, 5184, 5292, 5400, 5508, 5616, 5724, 5832, 5940, 6048, 6156, 6264, 6372, 6480, 6588, 6696, 6804, 6912, 7020, 7128, 7236, 7344, 7452, 7560, 7668, 7776

Multiples of 168:

168, 336, 504, 672, 840, 1008, 1176, 1344, 1512, 1680, 1848, 2016, 2184, 2352, 2520, 2688, 2856, 3024, 3192, 3360, 3528, 3696, 3864, 4032, 4200, 4368, 4536, 4704, 4872, 5040, 5208, 5376, 5544, 5712, 5880, 6048, 6216, 6384, 6552, 6720, 6888, 7056, 7224, 7392, 7560, 7728, 7896

Multiples of 180:

180, 360, 540, 720, 900, 1080, 1260, 1440, 1620, 1800, 1980, 2160, 2340, 2520, 2700, 2880, 3060, 3240, 3420, 3600, 3780, 3960, 4140, 4320, 4500, 4680, 4860, 5040, 5220, 5400, 5580, 5760, 5940, 6120, 6300, 6480, 6660, 6840, 7020, 7200, 7380, 7560, 7740, 7920

The Least Common Multiple for the 3 number is;

= 7560

Therefore a vessel of 7,560 liters fills each one of them an exact number of times with no remainder.

How do i find the shorted distance between the point and the line

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8

4y = -3x+8

y = -3/4+2

The shortest distance between a point and a line is the perpendicular line.

Slope of the perpendicular line: 4/3 and point (-3,-2)

b = -2-(4/3)(-3) = 2

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=4/3x+2

y is equal y

4/3x+2= -3/4x+2

4/3x +3/4x = 2-2

x = 0

Plug x=0 into one of the equations to find y

y = 4/3(0) + 2

y = 2

(0,2) and (-3,-2)

Distance = sqrt [(-3-0)^2 + (-2-2)^2]

Sqrt (-3)^2+ (-4)^2

Sqrt 25 = 5
