5/6 is closer to 10/16.

5/6 is closer to one because it is only 1/6 away from 1(found by subtracting 5/6 by 1/1), but it is 5/6 away 0, and it is 2/6 away from 1/2( found by subtracting 5/6 - 1/2 because 1/2 is equal to 3/6). Hope that makes sense!

An angle is 6 more than five times its supplement. Find the measure of the largest angle.

Julli [10]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°

Angle y is the large angle: y= 5x+6

180= x+y
180= (5x+6) + x
180=6x+6
174=6x
x=29

180= y+29
y=151°

The length and width of a rectangle are measured as 55 cm and 49 cm, respectively, with an error in measurement of at most 0.1 c

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is $10.4 \:cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle with length $L$ and width $W$ is $A= L\cdot W$ so the differential of <em>A</em> is

$dA=\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} \Delta L+\frac{\partial A}{\partial W} \Delta W$

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} = W\\\frac{\partial A}{\partial W}=L$ so

$dA=W\Delta L+L \Delta W$

We know that each error is at most 0.1 cm, we have $|\Delta L|\leq 0.1$ , $|\Delta W|\leq 0.1$ . To find the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle we take $\Delta L = 0.1$ , $\Delta W = 0.1$ and $L=55$ , $W=49$ . This gives
