Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Rich measured the height of a desk to be 80.7 cm. The actual height of the desk is 80 cm.

We will use percentage error formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Percentage error}=\frac{\text{Experimental value-Actual value }}{\text{Actual actual}}\times 100

\text{Percentage error}=\frac{80.7-80}{80}\times 100

\text{Percentage error}=\frac{0.7}{80}\times 100

\text{Percentage error}=0.00875\times 100

\text{Percentage error}=0.875\approx 0.9

Therefore, Rich's percent error in calculation is 0.9%.

Equation A:
pentagon [3]

The answer is –x + 5 = 6x - 2. This is because of the Transitive Property.

You most likely remember the transitive property as "if a = b and b = c, then a = c." In this case, if y = -x + 5 and y = 6x - 2, then -x + 5 = 6x - 2.
