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

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

(0.5793, 0.6363)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  poll of 793 adults aged 18 or older asked about purchases that they intended to make for the upcoming holiday season. One of the questions asked about what kind of gift they intended to buy for the person on whom they would spend the most. Clothing was the first choice of 482 people.

i.e. sample proportion p= \frac{482}{793} =0.608

q=1-p = 0.392

Std error of p = \sqrt{pq/n} =0.0173

For 90% Z crtiical = 1.645

Hence margin of error = 1.645 * std error = 0.0285

Confidence interval 90%

= proportion ±margin of error

=(0.5793, 0.6363)

A worker earns $9 per hour and works 25 hours each week. If the worker receives a 3% pay increase, how much additional pay will
Ber [7]

Answer: $6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

25 hours times $9= $225/week

3% increase from $9.00= $0.27

$9.27 times 25 hours= $231.75

$231.75-$225= $6.75 more per week

HELP DUE TODAY!!!!!!
larisa [96]

Answer:

x° is 66°  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, we have;

∠JIH = 105° Given

∠IDJ = 39° Given

Therefore, we have;

∠JID and ∠JIH are supplementary angles, by the sum of angles on a straight line

∴ ∠JID + ∠JIH = 180° by definition of supplementary angles

∠JID + 105° = 180° by substitution property

∠JID = 180° - 105° = 75° by angle subtraction postulate

∠JID = 75°

∠IDJ + ∠JID + ∠IJD = 180° by the sum of interior angles of a triangle

∠IJD = 180° - (∠IDJ + ∠JID)  = 180° - (39° + 75°) = 66° angle subtraction postulate

∠IJD = 66°

∠x° ≅ ∠IJD, by vertically opposite angles

∴ ∠x° = ∠IJD = 66° by the definition of congruency

∠x° = 66°

Help me from 6-9 (geometry)
elena55 [62]

Answer:

6) Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180 degrees. For example, two right angles are supplementary angles.

7) When the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, they are called complementary angles. For example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.

8) you have to plot the points on the graph and draw a line and label it with L at one point and M at another point.

9) x = 20

m < A = 65

m < B = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

9)

3x + 5 + 2x - 15 = 90

3x + 2x + 5 - 15 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

5x - 10 + 10 = 90 + 10

5x = 100

5 / 5x = 100 / 5

x = 20

A = 3x + 5

A = 3(20) + 5

A = 60 + 5

A = 65

B = 2x - 15

B = 2(20) - 15

B = 40 - 15

B = 25
