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 %

Bonus: Find the measure indicated. *
velikii [3]

Answer:

AC = 16 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = CD = 10 in.

BD = 6 in.

AC = 2(AB) = ?

Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB

AB² = AD² - BD²

Substitute

AB² = 10² - 6²

AB² = 64

AB = √64

AB = 8

Therefore:

AC = 2(AB) = 2(8)

AC = 16 in.

A meter is 3.37 inches more than a yard swimmer a swims 100 meters and swimmer b swims 100 yeards how many more feet did swimmer
olga_2 [115]
Swimmer a swims 100 meters, which is 100 1-meters, which is 100
(1 yards +3.37 inches) = 100 yards + 337 inches.

1 yard is 3 feet, so 100 yards are 300 feet.

100 in is 8.33 feet so
337 in is (337*8.33)/100=28.07 feet


Swimmer b swims 100 yards, which is 300 feet

Swimmer a swam 28.07 feet.

How long will it take an airplane flying at an average cruising speed of 230 miles per hour to fly 1380 miles?
lora16 [44]

Since it takes one hour to fly 230 miles, and we are looking for the number of hours, we can divide the number of miles we are given by the speed. In this case, we would divide 1380 by 230 to get 6. This means it would take 6 hours for the plane to fly 1380 miles.
