Answer:

$3.65 \leqslant x \leqslant 3.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

The error in rounding a number is half of the unit of measure.

The number was rounded to the nearest 0.1 unit so the error is 1/2×0.1, which equals 0.05.

Now we add 3.7 and 0.05, which equals 3.75 and we also take 3.7 - 0.05, which equals 3.65

So, the error interval is:

$3.65 \leqslant x \leqslant 3.75$

A rectangular field is nine times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 1700 feet, what

Leokris [45]

Answer:

I. L = 10.35 feet

II. W = 93.15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be L.

Let the width of the rectangle be W.

Given the following data;

Perimeter of rectangular field = 1700 feet

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

W = 9L

Mathematically, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is;

P = 2(L + W)

A. To write an equation;

X = P = 2(L + W)

B. To find the dimensions of the field;

207 = 2(L + 9L)

207 = 2L + 18L

207 = 20L

L = 207/20

L = 10.35 feet

To find the weight;

W = 9L

W = 9 * 10.35

W = 93.15 feet.

Therefore, the width of the field is

93.15 feet and the length of the field is

10.35 feet.

Find the value or measure. Assume all lines that appear to be tangent are tangent. X=

aev [14]

According to the secant-tangent theorem, we have the following expression:

$(x+3)^2=10.8(19.2+10.8)$

Now, we solve for <em>x</em>.

$\begin{gathered} x^2+6x+9=10.8(30) \\ x^2+6x+9=324 \\ x^2+6x+9-324=0 \\ x^2+6x-315=0 \end{gathered}$

Then, we use the quadratic formula:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where a = 1, b = 6, and c = -315.

$\begin{gathered} x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{6^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-315)}}{2\cdot1} \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{36+1260}}{2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{1296}}{2} \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm36}{2} \\ x_1=\frac{-6+36}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15 \\ x_2=\frac{-6-36}{2}=\frac{-42}{2}=-21 \end{gathered}$ <h2>Hence, the answer is 15 because lengths can't be negative.</h2>

What is the length of line segment PQ? If you can please explain, thanks.

nydimaria [60]

Given:

Tangent segment MN = 6

External segment NQ = 4

Secant segment NP =x + 4

To find:

The length of line segment PQ.

Solution:

Property of tangent and secant segment:

If a secant and a tangent intersect outside a circle, then the product of the secant segment and external segment is equal to the product of the tangent segment.

$\Rightarrow NQ\times NP = MN^2$
