The straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance covered towards north, n = 9 miles

Distance covered towards east, e = 40 miles

Distance from the origin to the end, x = ?

If we imagine this, then the route forms a right angle triangle

where,

n is the height

e is the base

x is the hypotenuse

Using pythagoras theorm:

(x)² = (n)² + (e)²

(x)² = (9)² + (40)²

(x)² = 1681

x = 41 miles

Therefore, the straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

The formula for the volume V of a cylinder is V=πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Sel
Alja [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = πr²h ( isolate h by dividing both sides by πr² )

\frac{V}{\pi r^2} = h

When V = 36π , r = 3 , then

h = \frac{36\pi }{\pi (3)^2} = \frac{36\pi }{9\pi } = 4 cm

Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations?
Tcecarenko [31]
The best way to answer this item is to use the Substitution method. Substitute the value of y from the first equation to the y of the second equation such that the second equation becomes,

     -4x + 3(x - 4) = -3

Simplifying the equation,
    -x = 9

Dividing both sides by -1 gives an answer of,
   <em>x = -9</em>

Then, substitute the value of x in the first equation.
    y = -9 - 4
   <em> y = -13</em>

The answer to this item is letter B.

An advertisement for a circular rug says that the rug has a diameter of 6 feet. Find the relative error of this measurement
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

1. 8.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative error = absolute error/expected measurement

The expected measurement is given as 6 ft.

Now, the absolute error is usually equal to half of a unit of the measure.

This means the absolute error in this case is ½ × 1 = 0.5 ft

Thus, the exact measurement will be;

6 ± 0.5

Thus;

Relative error = 0.5/6

Relative error = 0.083

Expressing it in percentage gives 8.3%
