Actual area = (140-yd x 940-yd)  =  131,600 square yards.

Estimated area = (100-yd x 850-yd)  =  85,000 square yards

Error = (131,600 - 85,000) =  46,600 square yards

Error as a fraction of the actual area =  46,600 / 131,600 =  0.354...

To change a decimal to a percent,
move the decimal point 2 places that way  ==> .

     0.354...  =  35.4.. %  (rounded)

If the measure of a triangle are in the ratio 2:5:5. What is the measure of the angle
Sphinxa [80]
Your answer is 75°, 75°, and 30°
Because you know that angles in a triangle equal 180°, you can find what 1 in terms of the ratio is by adding 2, 5, and 5, and then dividing 180 by that value. 2 + 5 + 5 = 12, so 180 ÷ 12 = 15.
Now that you know that 1 in terms of the ratio is 15, you can multiply 15 by the ratio values, so
15 × 2 = 30°
15 × 5 = 75°
15 × 5 = 75°

I hope this helps!
