That question is accompanied by these answer choices:
<span>A. The scale is accurate but not precise.
B. The scale is precise but not accurate.
C. The scale is neither precise nor accurate.
D. The scale is both accurate and precise.
Then you need to distinguish between accuracy and precision.
Accuracy refers to the closeness of the measure to the real value, while precision, in this case, refers to the level of significant figures that the sacle report.
The fact that the scale reports the number with 4 significant figures means that it is very precise, but the fact that the result is not so close to the real value as the number of significan figures pretend to be, means that the scale is not accurate.
So, the answer is that the scale is precise but not accurate (the option B</span>
Sine is positive while cotangent is negative. So this must mean cosine is negative since cos/sin = cot. In other words, cotangent is the ratio of cosine over sine.
Because cosine is negative and sine is positive, this places theta in quadrant 2
This is where x < 0 and y > 0. Recall that on the unit circle, x = cos(theta) and y = sin(theta).
The answer is choice B) quadrant II
Answer:
d. 40 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the horizontal side of this rectangle on the line y=20 is the difference of the x-coordinates, 12 and 20, so is 8. The length of the vertical side on the line x=20 is the difference of the y-coordinates, 20 and 8, so is 12.
Two sides are of length 8 and two are of length 12. The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths, so is ...
P = 2·8 +2·12 = 40 . . . units
Answer:
The answer is choices D.
