Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- Triangle
- Base = 11 inches
- Height = 12 inches
Formula
A = Base * height / 2
Solution
- Area = 11 * 12/2
- Area = 132 /2
- Area = 66 square inches.
The volume is 288
because V = w h l = 6•4•12 = 288
% change= (new # - original #) ÷ original # x 100
original #= 98
new #= 62
% change= (62-98)/98 x 100
= -36/98 x 100
= -0.36734 x 100
= -36.73%
Rounded to nearest 10th of %= -36.7%
CHECK:
= 98 - (98 * 36.73%)
= 98 - (98 * 0.3673)
= 98 - 36
= 62 new #
ANSWER:
Her percent error was 36.7% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent). The negative indicates a decrease.
Hope this helps! :)
