Answer:

her degree of accuracy in measurement is 0.05 cm (Option D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of accuracy in the measurement of the botanist depends on the instrument used.

For a length of 3.56 centimeters, it shows that the length of the tomato seedling was measured using meter rule or tape.

Meter rule is graduated in 1 mm or 0.1 cm. The estimated uncertainty in measurement using meter rule is half of its graduation i.e ( ¹/₂ of 0.1 cm = 0.05 cm).

If the botanist measured the length of tomato seedling as 3.56 centimeters, then her degree of accuracy in measurement is 3.56 cm ± 0.05 cm.

Therefore, her degree of accuracy in measurement is 0.05 cm (Option D)

The missing step in this proof is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are similar by SAS, then their corresponding angles are

equal and the 3rd corresponding sides have constant ratio

In the two triangles ABC and DBE:

∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE
$\frac{AB}{DB}=\frac{BC}{BE}$

Then the two triangles are similar

From similarity:

∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE

∠BCA ≅ ∠BED

∴ The missing step is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE

The missing step in this proof is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE

Find the quotient of -85^2-27n+76 / -17n-19

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:
5n-4

Explanation:
The given expression is:
$\frac{-85n^2-27n+76}{-17n-19}$

1- Take the negative as a common factor from both the numerator and the denominator. This will give us:
$\frac{-(85n^2+27n-76)}{-(17n+19)}$

2- Cancel out the negative sign (common factor) from the numerator and denominator. This will give us:
$\frac{(85n^2+27n-76)}{(17n+19)}$

3- Factor the numerator. This wil give:
$\frac{(5n-4)(17n+19)}{(17n+19)}$

4- Finally, cancel out the (17n+19) which common in both numerator and denominator. This will give us the final expression:
5n-4

Hope this helps :)
