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:

x = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∠SRT ≅ ∠STR

Then ∠STR = 20

∠STR  and ∠STU are what you call supplementary angles. This means that the sum of their measurements is equal to 180° because they form a straight line.

So if:

∠STR + ∠STU = 180°

m∠STU = 4x

m∠STR = 20

Then:

4x + 20° = 180°

Now we solve for x:

4x + 20 = 180\\\\Subtract\;20\;from\;both\;sides\;of\;the\;equation\\\\4x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20\\4x = 160\\\\Divide\;both\;sides\;of\;the\;equation\;by\;4\\\\\dfrac{4x}{4}=\dfrac{160}{4}\\\\x = 40

x = 40°

-2/3m = -12 please explain how to solve.
vichka [17]

Answer:

m = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3m = -12

multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

-2/3m(3) = -12(3)

simplify:

-2m = -36

divide both sides by -2:

-2m/-2 = -36/-2

simplify:

m = 18

7,16,8,27,9 what number continues this pattern
Aloiza [94]
The sequence seems to be that you add 1 and then multiply by 2, and then add 1 and multiply by 3, so I would assume you do 9 + 1 = 10, and then multiply by 4 to get 40 as your next number. I hope this helps!

State whether the data described below are discrete or​ continuous, and explain why. The numbers of languages spoken by differen
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Option C) The data are discrete because the data can take on specific value.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The numbers of languages spoken by different people.

The data would include points like English, Hindi, Marathi, and many more.

Thus, the data is discrete because the number of languages will always be expressed in whole numbers and thus it cannot take any value within an interval.

The value is calculated and not measured.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) The data are discrete because the data can take on specific value.
