Answer:
hypotenuse = 5
height = 2
Using Pythagoras theorem,
5² = 2² + m²
=> 25 = 4 + m²
=> 25–4 = m²
=> √21 = m
=> m = 4.58
Value of m is 4.58
Answer:
what
Step-by-step explanation:
why would you even need to know this
The smaller the value of the least increment, the more precise a number is.
Length measured to the nearest 1/8 inch will be more precisely specified than length measured to the nearest 1/4 inch.
_____
In general, precision has little to do with accuracy—how close the measured value is to the actual value. A measurement can be very precise, but just plain wrong. (Many electronic instruments have resolution (precision) that exceeds their accuracy. That is, one or two (or more) of the least-significant displayed digits may be in error.)

Answer:
(2) 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
In this geometry, the angle at the tangent is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
∠CBD = (arc BD)/2 = 144°/2
∠CBD = 72°
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Consider a point X anywhere on long arc BD. The inscribed angle at X will have half the measure of short arc BD, so will be 144°/2 = 72°. This is true regardless of the position of X on long arc BD. Now, consider that X might be arbitrarily close to point B. The angle at X is still 72°.
As X approaches B, the chord XB approaches a tangent to the circle at B. Effectively, this tangent geometry is a limiting case of inscribed angle geometry.
