There was 33.3% error in her calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Approx value thought by Lauren = 100

Exact value counted = 75

Percent error = \frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100

Percent\ error=\frac{|100-75|}{75}*100\\\\Percent\ error=\frac{|25|}{75}*100\\\\Percent\ error=\frac{2500}{75}\\\\Percent\ error=33.33\%

Rounding off to nearest tenth;

Percent error = 33.3%

There was 33.3% error in her calculation.

In the diagram, ARST-
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The scale factor is 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor from ∆RST to ∆XYZ = side length of ∆XYZ / corresponding side length of ∆RST

Thus:

XY corresponds to RS

XY = 45

RS = 10

Therefore:

Scale factor = 45/10 = 4.5

Scale factor from ∆RST to ∆XYZ = 4.5

What is the best estimate of the sum of the fraction? 31/4 +17/3 +8/18
Bogdan [553]

The best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

What is a Fraction ?

A fraction is written as p/q , where q \rm \ne 0

It is asked to determine the sum of the fraction

31/4 + 17/3 + 8/18

Taking the LCM of 4 , 3 , 18

LCM of 4 , 3 ,18 is 36

Therefore

\rm \dfrac{ 31 *9 + 17 *12 + 8 *2}{36 }

(279+204+16) /36

499 / 36

\rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

Therefore the best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}.

Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it
den301095 [7]

Answer:

a)ΔFHA is similar to ΔZIA by hypotenuse side test.

reason:- angle H and angle I are of 90 degrees.

b) FH/ ZI = HA/ IA = FA/ ZA

angle F = angle Z, angle H = angle I , angle angle A = angle A

The scale factor is 3/2......( HA/IA = 12/8 = 3/2)

c) IZ = 3.3 ....( FH/ IZ = 3/2, 5/ IZ = 3/2, IZ = 10/3 = 3.33)

If KLMN is a parallelogram and<br> m∠K = 110°, then what is m∠L?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In the parallelogram  KLMN, the sum of the adjacent angle is 180 degrees

Hence;

m<K + m<L = 180

110 + m<L = 180

m<L = 180-110

m<L = 70degrees

Hence the measure of m<l is 70 degrees
