Answer: The final answer must have only one decimal place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures are defined as the figures present in a number that expresses the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy.

We are given:

An addition problem having values (34.530 g + 12.1 g + 1222.34 g)

The rule that is applied for the addition and subtraction is:

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

For the given problem, the least precise number after the decimal is '1'

Evaluating the value: (34.530 g + 12.1 g + 1222.34 g) = 1268.97 ≈ 1269.0

Hence, the final answer must have only one decimal place.

The measured dimensions of a rectangle are 7m by 4m to the nearest whole unit. Find the minimum and maximum possible areas of th

Monica [59]

Answer:

Maximum area = Minimum area = 28 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and the width of the rectangle are measured to be 7 m and 4 m respectively to the nearest whole number.

We have to find the maximum and minimum possible areas of the rectangle.

The maximum or minimum area is calculated only when length or width or both can vary and then only for a certain value of length and width the area becomes maximum or minimum.

So, the maximum and minimum area of the rectangle will be the same i.e. (7 × 4) = 28 m². (Answer)

Solve for x if DEFG is a parallelogram

NeTakaya

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent, so you know that 2x + 2 = 3x - 3. start by adding 3 to both sides to get 2x + 5 = 3x. then subtract 2x from both sides to get 5 = x.

Find the slope of the equation. 3x = -y − 5

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The slope of the equation is -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = -y − 5

+ 5 + 5 Add 5 to both sides

3x + 5 = -y Divide both sides by -1

-3x + 5 = y

The slope of the equation is -3x
