Answer:

Estimation is just giving a general answer to the situation and can be specified on specifics depending on the numbers used and whichever question it's asking. But also remember that whenever you estimate your answer will be an approximate answers, not an exact.

Actually, here is the correct answer. The person above (but if I get brainliest, the person below) me didn't answer the question properly. He/she just talked about estimation not how you could use estimation to check the reasonableness of a solution to a practical problem.

Usually, when you try and solve a problem, you estimate first. After that, you actually solve the problem to get the exact answer. If your estimate was close to your answer, it probably means that your answer is correct. For example, take a look at this problem: Miguel must always have at least $500 in his bank savings account to avoid a fee charged by the bank. He has $764 in the account. He wants to withdraw $278 from the account. Miguel believes that he will not be charged a fee if he makes this withdrawal. Estimate with lower or upper bound estimate to see if he is correct. Notice that the problem uses the word “at least”. These words tell you to find a lower bound estimate. Miguel’s balance can never be less than 500 dollars. The lower bound estimate in subtraction is the result of rounding the minuend down and the subtrahend up. If the lower bound estimate is equal to, or less than five hundred dollars then Miguel may risk having an actual balance less than five hundred dollars after the withdraw. The lower bound estimate equals four hundred dollars. Since the estimate is less than five hundred dollars, Miguel’s balance could drop below five hundred dollars if he withdraws two hundred seventy-eight dollars. So Miguel should re-think his conclusion. In fact if he withdraws two hundred seventy eight dollars his actual balance would be four hundred eighty-six dollars. So he would be charged a fee.

I turned this in and got 100% on K12. It was for my math journal. I didn't copy. Search it on a plagiarism website if you think I did.

The surface area of a right rectangular prism is the sum of the areas of all six  faces of the prism. To calculate the total surface area, you must calculate the area of each face, and then you add all six areas together. Each face is a rectangle. As a shortcut, you really only need to find at most three areas since each two opposite faces are congruent rectangles and have equal areas. Since the area of a rectangle is length times width, and they are both measured in linear measurements, such are meters or feet, the area of each face is in square meters or square feet. The total area is also measured n square meters or square feet. If you are painting a room, including all walls, the floor and the ceiling, it would be helpful to know the total surface area to calculate the amount of paint needed. Also, if you are wrapping a box that is shaped like a right rectangular prism, the the total surface area will tell you how much area of wrapping paper you need.

The volume of a right rectangular prism is the amount of three-dimensional space it occupies. To calculate it, you multiply the length by the width by the height. Since length, width, and height are linear measures, with units such as meters or feet, the volume is a cubic measure measured in cubic meters or cubic feet. If you have a certain volume of an item that you need to put in a box, then by knowing how to calculate the volume of the box, you can tell what size box you will need.

If a circle has an arc with the measure of 60° and the length of the arc is 50 in, what is the
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: radius = 47.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

An arc is a portion of the circumference of the circle. The formula for determining the length of an arc is expressed as

Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr

Where

θ represents the central angle.

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

θ = 60 degrees

Length of arc = 50 inches

Therefore,

50 = 60/360 × 2 × 3.14 × r

Cross multiplying by 360, it becomes

18000 = 376.8r

r = 18000/376.8

r = 47.8 inches

Answer: the perimeter is 214. AB's half is 32.5 and BC's whole is 65

Step-by-step explanation: 10x-5 and 12x-26 are equal, as shown by the marks on their lines, so we can set them equal to each other to solve for x. when solved x=7. then plug 7 into each equation to get 65. lastly add up 84+65+65 to get 214.

A translation 2 units to the left followed by dilation by 1/2.

The correct option is (B).

<h3>What is congruency?</h3>

It states that that two triangles are said to be congruent if they are copies of each other and when superposed, they cover each other exactly.

The complete question is:

Which of the following composition of transformations would create an

image that is not congruent to its original image?

A rotation of 45° followed by a reflection across the x-axis

A translation 2 units to the left followed by dilation by 1/2

A reflection across the y-axis followed by a rotation of 60°

A rotation of 135º followed by a translation of 4 units to the right.

After a translation of 2 units to the left followed by dilation by 1/2 the image will not be congruent to its original image.

All other options are reflection and rotation, which not fit into the situation.
