Answer:

4.65\leq x\leq 5.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual width of belt be x

we are given that the ideal width of safety belt strap is 5 cm

So, Difference between actual and ideal = (x-5)cm

We are also given that An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm.

So, The difference between actual and ideal width should be less than or equal to 0.35 cm

So, |x-5|\leq 0.35

We know

x-5\leq 0.35 and x-5\geq -0.35

x\leq 0.35+5 and x\geq -0.35+5

x\leq 5.35 and x\geq 4.65

So, 4.65\leq x\leq 5.35

Hence the range of acceptable widths is 4.65\leq x\leq 5.35

14. In a right triangle, if one acute angle has measure 10x + 6 and the other has measure 2x + 7, find the larger of these two a
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

421/6 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, so

10x+6+2x+7=90 \\ \\ 12x+13=90 \\ \\ 12x=77 \\ \\ x=\frac{77}{12}

So, the acute angles measures 421/6 degrees and 119/6 degrees, and thus the larger angle is 421/6 degrees.
