Answer:
diagonal = = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)
Step-by-step explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached to this solution:
Let the Length of the rectangular board = a
Let the width = b
Let the diagonal = d
where:
a = 10 inches
b = 8 inches
d = ?
Triangle ABC in the diagram is a right-angled triangle, therefore, applying Pythagoras theorem:
(hypotenuse)² = (Adjacent)² + (Opposite)²
d² = 10² + 8²
d² = 100 + 64
d² = 164
∴ d = √(164)
d = 12.806 inches
d = 12.8 inches (to the nearest tenth of an inch)
<em>N:B Rounding off to the nearest tenth of an inch is the same as rounding off to 1 decimal place.</em>
The percentage that the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 14 is less than the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 11 is:
B. 20%.
<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:
The percentage of airlines with an average age of 14 years is:
The percentage of airlines with an average age of 11 years is:
The difference is:
33.33% - 13.33% = 20%.
Hence option B is correct.
