Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error  = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4} × 100 = 64.28 %

Error in Shawna's answer = \frac{1.4 - 0.05}{1.4} × 100 = 96.42%

From this, It is obvious that Jay's answer has a lower percentage error when compared to the actual value.

koban [17]

Answer: D. cylinder F. prism


Step-by-step explanation:


From the given figures in the options , only cylinder and prism have two congruent parallel bases.

  • A cylinder is a solid figure which has the two congruent parallel bases i.e. circles.
  • A prism is a solid shape that has two parallel congruent sides which are called bases and they are joined by the lateral faces that are parallelograms.

Rest of other options do not have congruent parallel bases.

Which transformation will map an isosceles trapezoid onto itself? rotation by 180° about its center, reflection across a diagona
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The non parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent.

The image of an isosceles trapezoid is same as the preimage of isosceles trapezoid if

1. Reflection across a line joining the midpoints of parallel sides.

2. Rotation by 360° about its center.

3. Rotation by 360° about origin.

If we rotate the trapezoid by 180° about its center, then the parallel sides will interchanged.

If we reflect the trapezoid across a diagonal, then the resultant figure will be a parallelogram.

If we reflect across a line joining the midpoints of the nonparallel sides, then the parallel sides will interchanged.

After rotation by 360° about the center, we always get an onto figure.

Therefore option 4 is correct.
