Answer:

The maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is 10.4 \:cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle with length L and width W is A= L\cdot W so the differential of <em>A</em> is

dA=\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} \Delta L+\frac{\partial A}{\partial W} \Delta W

\frac{\partial A}{\partial L} = W\\\frac{\partial A}{\partial W}=L so

dA=W\Delta L+L \Delta W

We know that each error is at most 0.1 cm, we have |\Delta L|\leq 0.1, |\Delta W|\leq 0.1. To find the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle we take \Delta L = 0.1, \Delta W = 0.1 and L=55, W=49. This gives

dA=49\cdot 0.1+55 \cdot 0.1

dA=10.4

Thus the maximum error in the calculated area of the rectangle is 10.4 \:cm^2

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio
Anton [14]
HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
          4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
          12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
          x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

        - 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

        - 3x = 3(1.5) =  4.5

       - 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5

2abc - 3ab ║ 2 (2) (3) (4) - 3 (2) (3)

You would multiply and the products - you are going to subtract
2 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 48
3 × 2 × 3 =     - 18

Solve for x in the diagram.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x° + 2x° + (x+10)° = 90°

3x° + x° + 10° = 90°

4x° + 10° = 90°

4x° = 90°-10°

4x° = 80°

x = 80/4

x = 20
