The accepted value of the average distance between Earth and the moon is 384, 467 km. If a scientist measures that the moon is 3

84,476 km form the Earth, what is the measurement's percentage error?

Answer:

Percentage error is 0.0024 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial average distance between Earth and moon = 384467 km  

Distance measure by the scientist = 384476 km

Total variation in the distance calculation = 384476 – 384467 = 9 km.

Now we can find the percentage by dividing the variation in distance from the initial measurement and then multiply with hundred.

Percentage error = ( 9 /  384467 ) × 100 = 0.0024 %

HELP!! PLEASE A carpenter is framing a window with wood trim where the length of the window is 9 and 1/3 feet. If the width of t
ohaa [14]
We need the perimeter of the window for framing

The window is in the shape of a rectangle with the height of 9 \frac{1}{3} feet and width of 6 \frac{3}{4}. The diagram of the shape is shown below

The perimeter of a shape is obtained by adding up the length of all the sides that form the shape.

The perimeter of the window is 9 \frac{1}{3}+9 \frac{1}{3}+6 \frac{3}{4}+6 \frac{3}{4} = 18 \frac{2}{3}+12 \frac{6}{4} 

We have two whole numbers 18 and 12 and two fractions \frac{2}{3} and \frac{6}{4}

Adding the two fractions that have different denominator 
\frac{2}{3}+ \frac{6}{4} = \frac{8}{12}+ \frac{18}{12}= \frac{26}{12}, which is an improper fraction which we can change into a mixed number 2 \frac{1}{6}

So the perimeter of the window is 
18+12+2 \frac{1}{6} =32 \frac{1}{6} 

and the length of wood needed for the frame is 32 \frac{1}{6} feet

6) What happens to the diameter of the field of view as the magnification increases?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

There is an inverse relationship between the total magnification and the diameter of the field of view – i.e., as magnifications increases the diameter of the field decreases in proportion, so the diameter of field of view at different magnification can be calculated mathematically, using the formula.

1. Solve the inequality.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Your final answer is either

x≥-2   if your initial inequality was

6x+2≤2(5-x)

OR

x≤-2

if your initial inequality was

6x+2≥2(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown you have an equality, not an inequality.

-6x+2=2(5-x)          distribute through parenthesis

-6x+2=2(5)+2(-x)

-6x+2=10-2x           add 2x to both sides

2x-6x+2=10-2x+2x

-4x+2=10                subtract 2 from both sides

-4x+2-2=10-2

-4x=8                      divide both sides by -4

-4x/(-4) = 8/(-4)

x = -2

With the ≥ or ≤ sign you would solve the exact same way

except for the point where when dividing both sides by

-4 requires you to reverse the inequality.

Your final answer is either

x≥-2   if your initial inequality was

6x+2≤2(5-x)

OR

x≤-2

if your initial inequality was

6x+2≥2(x-2)
