Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured<span> value to a standard or known value. For example, if in lab you obtain a weight </span>measurement<span> of 3.2 kg for a given substance, but the actual or known weight is 10 kg, then your</span>measurement<span> is not accurate.</span>

You have just bought a new television and it has an aspect ratio of 16:9. The screen on the television is 65 inches. What is the

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Width of T.V. is 21.94 inches Height is 39 inches and area is 855.66 square inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we buy an electronic item like T.V or Blue Ray aspect ratio is the term which is used by the salesmen or technicians. Aspect ratio is actually the ratio of length and breadth of the screen of a device or ration of width and height.

In this question aspect ratio of television is given as 16:9

This can be written as $\frac{W}{H}=\frac{16}{9}$ or $W=\frac{16}{9} H$

Screen of the T.V. is 65 inch which is the diagonal length of the screen.

We know from pythagoras theorem in a right angle triangle

$(diagonal)^{2}=(base)^2+(height)^2$

$(65)^2=(Base)^2+(height)^2$

$(65)^2= W^2+H^2 = (\frac{16}{9}H)^2+H^2$

$(65)= \sqrt{\frac{16}{9}H^2+H^2}\\ 65=H\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}+1}\\ 65=H\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}\\ 65=\frac{5}{3}H\\ H=39 inches$

Now height of the T.V.will be

$\frac{W}{H}=\frac{16}{9} \\\\\frac{H}{W}=\frac{9}{16}\\ H=\frac{9}{16}W = (\frac{9}{16})39= 21.94 Inches$

now area of the T.V.=W×H=39×21.94=855.66 square inch

In a recent year, the population of California was about 2.52 x 10^7 people. Its land area is about 4.05 x 10^5 km^2. What was t

andrezito [222]

The population of California = $2.52 \times 10^7$ people.

Land area of California = $4.05 \times 10^5km^2$ .

We have to determine the average number of people per square kilometer.

Average number of people per square kilometer =

Land area of California $\div$ Population of California

= $4.05 \times 10^5 \div 2.52 \times 10^7$

= $1.6 \times 10^{-2}$

Therefore, the average number of people per square kilometer is $1.6 \times 10^{-2}$ .

It is represented in scientific notation as Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.

Explain why any of the four operations placed between two terms 5 and -3 sqrt (8) will result in an irrational number

Gnoma [55]

Sum/difference:

Let

$x = 5 + (-3\sqrt{8}) = 5-3\sqrt{8}$

This means that

$3\sqrt{8} = 5-x \iff \sqrt{8} = \dfrac{5-x}{3}$

Now, assume that $x$ is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that $x$ was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational

Multiplication/division:

The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get

$x = -15\sqrt{8}$

if again we assume x to be rational, we have

$\sqrt{8} = -\dfrac{x}{15}$

But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.

The area of the triangle will be 24912 sq. units. Square units and other similar units are used to measure area.

The space filled by a flat form or the surface of an item is known as the area.

The number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed-form is the figure's area.

For:

(X1, Y1) = (1, 15)

(X2, Y2) = (-2, 1)

d = 14.317821

For:

(X₂, Y₂) = (-2, 1)

(X₃, Y₃) = (4, 5)

d = 7.211103

For applying the pythogorous them we need the right angle triangle obtained by bisect from the mid point.

The value of the base is;

⇒7.2 / 2

⇒3.6

apply the pythogorous theorem for finding the height;

h² = p² + b²

14.31² = p² + 3.6²

p = 13.84

The area of the triangle is;

$\rm A = \frac{1}{2}\times b \times h \\\\ A= \frac{1}{2} \times 3.6 \times 13.84 \\\\ A = 24.912$

Hence, the area of the triangle will be 24912 sq. units.
