Answer: 12.83%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sam measured the height of a window frame as 5.23 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet.

i.e. Estimated height = 5.23 feet

Actual height = 6 feet

Then, the percentage of error in Sam's measurement will be :-

\%\text{Error}=\dfrac{|\text{Estimated height-Actual height}|}{\text{Actual height}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{|5.23-6|}{6}\times100\\\\ =\dfrac{0.77}{6}\times100\\\\=12.8333333333\approx12.83\%

Hence, the percentage of error in Sam's measurement= 12.83%

When lava is expelled from a volcano, it temperature may vary from 700 degrees Celsius to 1200 degrees Celsius. Write an absolut
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Ix - 950°C I ≤ 250°C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the temperature may vary from 700 degrees Celsius to 1200 degrees Celsius.

And that this temperature is x.

This means that the minimum value of x is 700°C while maximum of x is 1200 °C

Let's find the average of the two temperature limits given:

x_avg = (700 + 1200)/2 =

x_avg = 1900/2

x_avg = 950 °C

Now let's find the distance between the average and either maximum or minimum.

d_avg = (1200 - 700)/2

d_avg = 500/2

d_avg = 250°C.

Now absolute value equation will be in the form of;

Ix - x_avgI ≤ d_avg

Thus;

Ix - 950°C I ≤ 250°C
