A scale has a percent error of 5% the actual mass of a rock is 258g

Answer:

245.1 g or 270.9 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Error in mass for the measurement is 5% of the actual mass . This simply means 5% of 258 grams. Mathematically,

error in mass = percentage error × actual mass

error in mass = 5 /100 × 258

error in mass = 1290/100

error in mass = 12.90 grams

Since the error in mass is 12.90 grams that means the scaled mass either has an increase of 12.9 g or decrease of 12.9 g from the actual mass.

scaled mass can be either 258 - 12.90 = 245.1 grams

<em>or</em>

258 + 12.90 = 270.9 grams

245.1 and 270.9 since that actual weight of the rock is either 0.95 or 1.05 times the mass the scale shows.

If you want more explanation I'm more than happy to and I hope this helps:)

What are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle in which one acute angle measures 19° and the hypotenuse is 15 units long?
Deffense [45]
So you have a right angle triangle. You need to use trig for this, as you have two values you can figure out a third.

You know that you have

90 deg. angle
19 deg. angle
Therefor you have 71 deg. angle

sin19 = x/15
15sin19 = x
x = 2.2

Now do Pythagoras c^2-b^2=a^2

a = 14.8

So the sides are 2.2 and 14.8 units long. (If these numbers are wrong tell me and I'll edit answer)

The population of a city (in millions) at time t (in years) is P(t)=2.6 e 0.005t , where t=0 is the year 2000. When will the pop
lora16 [44]

Answer:

  year 2139

Step-by-step explanation:

The population will double when the factor e^(.005t) is 2.

  e^(.005t) = 2

  .005t = ln(2)

  t = ln(2)/0.005 = 138.6

The population will be double its size at t=0 when t=138.6. That is the population will be about 5.2 million in the year 2139.

30 is 60%of what number?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: 50


Step-by-step explanation:


Step 1: 60% = .60

Step 2: 30 = .60Y

Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by .30 to isolate the variable Y.

30/.60 = .60/.60Y

50=Y

Therefore, 30 is 60% of 50.

A rectangular prism and its dimensions are shown in the diagram.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

51.08 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

S.A = (l x b) + (l × h) + (b × h)

= (8.2 in. × 3.4 in.) + (8.2 in. × 2 in.) + (3.4 in. × 2 in.)

= 27.88 in.² + 16.4 in.² + 6.8 in.²

= 51.08 in.²
