Estimate 58% of 121 by using 10%

1 answer:

5 0

58% is about equal to 60%, 10% of 121 is 12.1.
12.1 * 6 = 72.6
To take this further, 58% is 2% less than 60%, or 2 times 1%. 1% of 121 is 1.21.
72.6 - (1.21 * 2) = 72.6 - 2.42 = 70.18

5. To get to the library from his house, Robert biked 6 kilometers due east and then

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

24 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest path between two points is a straight segment that connects the two points.

Refer to the diagram attached. The 6-km segment and the 8-km segment are normal to each other. Together with the segment that joins the library and the house, the three segments now form a right triangle.

The two shorter segments are the two legs, and
The longer segment that joins the library and the house is the hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Hypotenuse} &= \sqrt{(\text{Leg 1})^{2} + (\text{Leg 2})^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{6^{2} + 8^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{36 + 64} \\&= \sqrt{100}\\&= \rm 10\;km\end{aligned}$ .
