The percentage error is 23%

Explanation:

The estimated total cost of the groceries = $50

The actual cost of the groceries = $65

To find the error value, we need to subtract the value of actual cost and total cost of the groceries.

Thus,

error value = actual cost - total cost

error value = 65-50=15

Hence, error value = $15

The formula to determine the percent error is given by

Percent error $=\left(\frac{\text { error value}}{\text {actual value}}\right) \times 100$

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

$\begin{aligned} \text { Percent error } &=\left(\frac{15}{65}\right) \times 100 \\ &=0.231 \times 100 \\ &=23.1 \end{aligned}$

Rounding off the value, we have, 23%

Thus, the percentage error is 23%

Which of the following is the correct classification of ∆mnp if m<m=35° and m<p=47°?​
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

D. Obtuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that in \Delta MNP m\angle M=35^o and m\angle P=47^o. We are asked to classify our given \Delta MNP.

We can see that angle M and angle P are acute angles as their measure is less than 90 degrees.

Let us find the measure of angle P using angle sum property of triangles, which states that sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

So we can set an equation as:

m\angle M+m\angle P+m\angle N=180^o

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

35^o+47^o+m\angle N=180^o

82^o+m\angle N=180^o

82^o-82^o+m\angle N=180^o-82^o

m\angle N=98^o

As measure of angle N is 98 degrees, so angle N is an obtuse angle.

Since a triangle having an angle that measures more than 90 degrees is called an obtuse triangle, therefore, \Delta MNP is an obtuse triangle and option D is the correct choice.
