Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

RULER

measurements taken by ruler can be limited due to absolute errors, zero error and uncertainties.

1.) If the end of the ruler is worn out giving rise to a zero error

2.) The calibration of the ruler may give rise to another systematic error if the makings are incorrect.

3.) If the object to be measured is not on the same level as graduated surface of the ruler, the angle at which the scale is viewed will affect the result. This is known as parallax error.

SCALE

Systematic error can occur in a scale when the scale is wrongly calibrated.

Also, reading a scale from different angles introduces a variable parallax error.

random uncertainty could be a parallax error caused by taking readings from different angles. This can be reduced by the use of a mirror behind the scale and viewing normally.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

2pi/3 has the same Sin, Cos, & Tan as pi/3 in QI except for the SIGNS.

2pi/3 is in QII so Cos is negative and Tangent is negative, Sine is still positive.

Sin 2pi/3 = √(3) / 2

Cos 2pi/3 = -1/2

Tan 2pi/3 = -√3

The actual length of the ship is 575 feet. The scale of the model is 1 inch: 25 feet. What will be the length of the model?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The length of the model as described in the task content would be; 23 inches.

<h3>What is the length of the model?</h3>

According to the task content, it follows that for every 25 feet measure of the actual ship length, the representation is 1 inch on the model.

On this note, for 575 feet length of the actual ship, the length of the model is; 575/25 = 23 inch.

Express 85mm as a percentage of 1metre​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

85/1000 because we said that 1 meter = 1000 mililiters

Divide both sides by 5 and then you have 17/200

then divide both sides by 2 (to get it over 100) =

8.5/100

.085%

Hope that helps!!

You could also just do 85/1000 you would get the same answer!!
