For any value, e.g. a, to the nearest x units, the upper and lower bounds are:
(a + x/2) and (a - x/2)
For your question, there are three dimensions so:
Dealing with the first one, we have 24 cm to the nearest 2 cm so the boundaries are:
Upper boundary: 24 + 2/2 = 25
Lower boundary: 24 - 2/2 = 23
The second dimension is the same as the first in value and is also given to the nearest 2 cm so the boundaries are the same as for the first.
The third dimension is 20 cm to the nearest 2 cm so the boundaries are:
Upper boundary: 20 + 2/2 = 21
Lower boundary: 20 - 2/2 = 19

To get the largest possible area, we take the upper bounds of all the dimensions and multiply them so:
25 * 25 * 21 = 13125 cm³

5/8 of the cats perferred drinking with there tongue but 3/16 wanted a straw if there was 39 cats that gave one of these 2 answe
AveGali [126]

Answer:

208cats

Step-by-step explanation:

⅝=tongue

³/16=straw=39cats

⅝+³/16=13/16

meaning total number of cats is 16/16

If ³/16=39cats

16/16=?

39×16/3

=208cats

marin [14]

Answer:

<em>Answer</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>15</em>

<em>Answer</em><em> </em><em>is given below with explanations</em><em>. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

in \: the \: figure \: BE ||  CD \\ by \: thales \: theorem \\  \frac{AE}{ED}  =  \frac{AB}{BC}  \\ on \: substituting \: the \: values \: from \: the \: figure \\  \frac{9}{6}  =  \frac{x}{10}  \\  \frac{3}{2}  =  \frac{x}{10}  \\ x =  \frac{3 \times 10}{2}  \\ x =  \frac{30}{2}  \\ x =15  \\

The coordinates of points A
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Distance=13.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distance between the two points in coordinate system is find by using the distance formula.

If two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are given:

Distance =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For the points:

                     (-7, 5)\\ and \\(4, -3)

Distance=\sqrt{(4-(-7))^2+(-3-5)^2}\\\\ =\sqrt{(4+7)^2+(-8)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{11^2+(-8)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{121+64}\\\\ =\sqrt{185}\\\\ =13.60

The distance between the points is 13.60

Find the midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane whose coordinates are (5.7) and (-3, 1).
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

if~(x,y)~is~mid~point~of~(x_{1},y_{1})~and~ (x_{2},y_{2}~then\\x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} \\y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} \\x=\frac{5-3}{2} =\frac{2}{2}=1\\y=\frac{7+1}{2} =\frac{8}{2} =4

(x,y)→(1,4)
