Answer:
5.7 cm or 2 1/4 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Your tape measure is not shown.
On my tape measure, 5.7 cm is the closest mark. On the inch scale, 2 1/4 inches is the next-closest mark.
_____
On a tape measure graduated in 1/32 inch between 2 and 3 inches, you can find the closest mark by rounding to the nearest 32nd:
2.23607 × 32 ≈ 71.55 ≈ 72 --- 32nds of an inch
72/32 = 2 1/4 . . . . the closest mark on an inch ruler graduated in 32nds
__
For a ruler graduated in millimeters, you can find the closest millimeter in the same way. There are 25.4 mm to the inch.
2.23607 in × 25.4 mm/in ≈ 56.80 mm ≈ 57 mm
57 mm = 5.7 cm . . . closest mark on metric scale
__
When we check the error, we find the metric mark is closer than the inch mark.
5.7 cm ≈ 2.24409 in . . . . error of 0.00802 in
2 1/2 in = 2.25000 in . . . error of 0.01393 in
Not really, If you use the Pythagorean theorem on all problems related to distance.. You won't always be able to solve it. It depends on the numbers.
So, false.
Answer:
120 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of dance floor = 30 ft
Width of dance floor = 20 ft
Given that 2 people will occupy 5 ft² of space, the number of people that will crowd the floor of the dance floor is calculated as follows:
= Area of dance floor ÷ 5 ft²
= (30*20) ÷ 5
= 600 ÷ 5
= 120.
120 people will crowd the dance floor.
