Answer:

0.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent Error = the absolute value of (actual value observed-expected value)/(expected value) x100%

(17.8-17.9)/(17.9) = -0.006

Absolute value is 0.006

0.006 times 100% equals 0.6%

Answer:

0.6 %

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage error=(17.9-17.8)/17.8 ×100=1/178×100=100/178=50/89≈0.56≈0.6

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles will be in same ratio.

\dfrac{x}{x+18}=\dfrac{20}{28}

Cross multiply

x*28 = 20*(x+18)   {Use distributive method}

28x = 20x + 360

28x - 20x = 360

8x = 360

 x = 360/8

x = 45

Ivahew [28]
#1) 4.445 ft
#2) yes

Explanation
#1) The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex.  We first find the axis of symmetry, given by x=-b/2a:

x=-0.17/2(-0.005) = -0.17/-0.01 = 17

Plugging this into the equation,
y=-0.005(17²)+0.17(17)+3 = 4.445

#2) Substituting 30 into the equation,
y=-0.005(30²) + 0.17(30) + 3 = 3.6

The ball will 3.6 in the air, so yes, it will clear the 3 ft tall net.

I am just completely lost and am unsure of how to approach this problem.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

68°

Step-by-step explanation:

As BA⊥BD, so ∠ABD = 90°

also, ∠ABD = ∠CBD + ∠ABC

⇒ 90° = 4x + 52° + 8x - 10°

⇒  12x = 48°

⇒  x = 4°

now,

∠CBD = 4x + 52°

          = 4(4°) + 52°

          = 68°
