Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage error in a measurement.

This can be obtained by first getting the error involved. That is calculated by Subtracting the value calculated from the actual value. That is 9.5 - 8.9 = 0.6

The percentage error is thus 0.6/9.5 * 100 = 6%

The value is actually 10% to the nearest tenth of a percent

Answer:

                 x=8\frac34\ \,,\quad y=8\frac12

Step-by-step explanation:

             \Delta TRS\sim \Delta LJK \quad\implies\quad \dfrac{|TR|}{|LJ|}=\dfrac{|RS|}{|JK|}=\dfrac{|ST|}{|KL|}\\\\\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{6}{y+2}\\\\\\\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{5}{x}\quad\implies\quad4x=5\cdot7\quad\implies\quad x=\dfrac{35}4=8\frac34\\\\\\\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{6}{y+2}\quad\implies\quad 5(y+2)=6\cdot\dfrac{35}4\\\\5y+10=3\cdot\dfrac{35}2\\\\5y\ =\ \dfrac{3\cdot35}2-10\\ \div5\qquad\quad \div5\\\\y=\dfrac{3\cdot7}2-2=10\frac12-2=8\frac12

Factor the given polynomial completely \. If the polynomial cannot be factored, say that is prime. y^4+10y^3+16y^2
Svetach [21]
I took out the greatest common factor, which is y^2 and factored from there
You’ll end up with y^2(y+2)(y+8)
Here’s my work :)

Kyle held a balloon 8 feet off the ground, straight above his head. Ava is standing 15 feet directly to the right of Kyle.
Mazyrski [523]

Complete Question:

Kyle held a balloon 8 feet off the ground, straight above his head. Ava is standing 15 feet directly to the right of Kyle.

Write an equation using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.  

How far are Ava's feet from the balloon?

Answer:

Ava's feet is 17ft away from the balloon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

height = 8ft

distance = 15ft

The attached image represents the scenario

Using Pythagoras theorem (from the attachment), we have:

x^2 = 8^2 + 15^2

x^2 = 64 + 225

x^2 =289

Take square roots of both sides

x = \sqrt{289

x = 17
