<span>Mia is the one who is closer to the treasure chest. A theorem in Triangle Inequalities state that lines opposite of bigger angles have longer sides. In the case of this triangle, the angle opposite of Mia’s path is smaller than the angle opposite of Nigel’s. To confirm the actual distance, the law of sine and law of cosine can be used.</span>

A scale has a percent error of 7%. The scale reads the mass of a book as 450g. Which statement describes what the actual mass of

ozzi

Answer:

The actual mass of the book is between 481 . 5 g and 418 . 5 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the book on the scale = 450 g

The percentage error in the scale = 7%

So, the actual mass of the book is 450 g ± 7%

Now, 7 % of the mass 450 g = $\frac{7}{100} \times 450 = 31.5$

⇒ 7% of 450 g = 31.5 g

Now, the Actual mass of the book = 450 g ± 31.5 g

450 g + 31.5 g = 481 . 5 g

450 g - 31.5 g = 418 . 5 g

Hence the actual mass of the book is between 481 . 5 g and 418 . 5 g.

Use the table to write a quadratic function in vertex form. Then rewrite the function in standard form.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph decreases at first, then changes direction at (2, 5).

y = a(x-2)^2 + 5

Plug in (1,11) and solve for a:

11 = a(1-2)^2 + 5

a = 6

Equation in vertex form:

y = 6(x-2)^2 + 5

Which of the following could be the equation of a line perpendicular to the line 2x−5y=7?

Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the equation to slope-intercept form:

2x - 5y = 7

-5y = -2x + 7

y = 2/5 x - 7/5

So the slope of the given line is 2/5.

So the slope of a perpendicular line will be -1/ 2/5 = -5/2.

Take B:

5x + 2y = 3

2y = -5x + 3

y = -5/2.

So its B.
