Answer:
There are a lot of things that can go wrong, especially when we have an error in a measure that we use a lot of times (each time, that error increases).
For example, you think that each meter of fence costs $5, but the actual price is $5.30, and you need 40 meters, then you think that you may need to pay:
40*$5 = $200
But they will actually charge you:
40*$5.30 = $212.
Now this is a small example, now let's go to medicine, suppose that you want to trait cancer with radiation in a pacient, if you do not use precise measures for the dosage of radiation or the measures of the tumor, you may cause a lot of damage in the patient. (And similar cases if you want to give some medication and the numbers that you use are not precise, you may overdose the patient)
So the use of precise numbers may be critical in a lot of scenarios.
We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse
x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x
x^2+36=100 Square each individual term
x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides
x^2=64 Combine like terms
sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides
x = 8 Simplify the square root
So our answer is x = 8
The ladder touches the 8 feet mark on the wall.
given the following sets.
A = {0, 1, 2, 3}
B = {a, b, c, d}
C = {0, a, 2, b}
Find B C.
Answer:
The height of the tree is
18.67
feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
The pole and the tree both cast shadows. The triangles which form are similar triangles, because the sun is shining from the same angle in the sky.
You can write this as a direct proportion. (height : shadow)
