<u>Answer:</u>

Absolute error = 39 pounds

Percent error = 6.10%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that the actual weight of the beam was 639 pounds while its estimated weight was 600 pounds.

We can find the absolute error by subtracting the original weight from the estimated weight.

Absolute error = 639 - 600 = 39 pounds

Next, we will use the following formula to find the percent error.

<em>Percent error = (Estimated value - actual value / actual value) * 100</em>

Percent error = 639 - 600 / 600 * 100 = 6.10%

Answer:

Absolute: 39 pounds

Relative: 6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the absolute difference, we simply have to see by how much pounds the estimation was off.

The real measure was 639 pounds, the estimated weight was 600.

D = 639 - 600 = 39 pounds.

For the percent of error, we divide the absolute difference (39) by the real value (639) and we'll get the % of error.  So,

%D = 39 / 600 = 0.0610, so 6.1%

We don't need to round it to the nearest tenth, since it's already to that precision level.

Are these parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
Elina [12.6K]
Answer: I think it’s neither

Explanation:

The line is parallel unless the slope is the same and with a different y-intercept

The line are perpendicular unless the one of the slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.

And both equation didn’t meet any of the requirement.

A cheetah can run at its top speed for about 25 seconds. Complete the table to represent a cheetah running at a constant speed.
AleksandrR [38]
X = 650 + 60t

The cheetah must arrive at the same place at the same time:

x = 90t

650 + 60t = 90t

30t = 650

t = 650/30 ≅ 21.7 s

It takes the cheetah a little more than 20 s running at 90 ft/s to reach the moving antelope, so assuming the antelope can maintain its speed of 60, it is safe.
