Why is it helpful to estimate the answer before adding or subtracting decimals?

So you can get a basic idea of what your actual answer will be in range of.

Example:
10.5+5.5=__

I can safely assume with estimating that it'll be 15.
Now when I actually find the correct answer which is 16, its a safe bet knowing that your estimate is close to your actual answer.

If you make an uneducated guess like saying 10.5+5.5 was 30 then your answer was 16 its makes you wonder how you got an estimate of almost 2x of 16.

Estimates help, so you know what range your real answer would be in.

Hope this helps

Where mBD =70° and mCA = 170°
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

m∠BPD = 120

mBC + mAD = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

according to intersecting chord theorem: The measure of the angle formed by two chords  that intersect inside the circle is \frac{1}{2} the sum of the chords' intercepted arcs.

m∠BPD = \frac{1}{2} (M∠BD + M∠CA)

             = \frac{1}{2}  (70 + 170)

             =  \frac{1}{2} (240)

m∠BPD = 120

We know that a circle has a total of 360° around the center of circle. To find the measure of the remaining measure of angle of arcs, subtract them from the whole that is 360°

mBC + mAD = 360 - ( 70 + 170 )

                     = 360 - 240

mBC + mAD = 120°
