One side of a right triangle is known to be 36 cm long and the opposite angle is measured as 30°, with a possible error of ±1°.

Answer:

  ±2.18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of the sine of an angle (θ) is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Then the hypotenuse (h) is found from ...

  h = Opposite/sin(θ)

Differentiating with respect to θ gives ...

  dh/dθ = Opposite×(-cos(θ)/sin²(θ))

For the given numbers, this is ...

  dh/dθ = (36 cm)×(-√3/2)/(1/2)² = -72√3 cm/radian

The error of ±1° corresponds to ±π/180 radians, so the error is estimated to be ...

  error = (dh/dθ)Δθ = (-72√3 cm/radian)(±π/180 radians) = ±0.4π√3 cm

  error = ±2.18 cm

Answer: It is B and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divde the -4 and -5 for choice B, it will become 4/5 since it's an absolute value.

For Choice C, it's also the same but before the fractions were negative and there is a negative sign which means it's also the aboslute value which is 4/5.

Hope this helps! <3

Answer:

V_avg = 0.5556 miles/min

V_avg = 0.00926 miles/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Bonita jogs 2.5 miles west of Vinces' house to school. It took her 15 minutes to arrive.

Speed 1; distance/time = V1 = 2.5/15 = 1/6 miles/min

Furthermore she ran 5 miles to the discount store for personal supplies. This took her 5 minutes.

Thus;

Speed 2; V2 = 5/5 = 1 mile/min

She then slowly walks back to school, which takes her another 10 minutes. Distance from the discount stor to school is 5 miles as stated in speed 2.

Thus;

Speed 3: V3 = 5/10 = ½ mile/min

Her average speed is;

V_avg = (V1 + V2 + V3)/3

V_avg = (1/6 + 1 + ½)/3

V_avg = 10/18 = 0.5556 miles/min

Converting to miles/seconds

60 seconds make 1 minutes, therefore 1 mile/min = 1/60 miles/seconds

Thus;

V_avg = 0.5556 miles/min = 0.5556 × 1/60 miles/sec = 0.00926 miles/sec

Well depending on your height or whatever you would times your height times 2 and so since u are 5 feet then that would mean that the height of the lamppost is 10 ft I hope this helped

Find the value of M when <br> -5(M+1)≤23
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

M ≥ -5  3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(M+1)≤23

Distribute -5

-5M -5 ≤23

Add 5 to each side

-5M -5+5 ≤ 23 +5

-5M ≤ 28

Divide each side by -5, remembering to flip the inequality

-5M/-5 ≥ 28/-5

M ≥ -28/5

M ≥ -5  3/5
