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)

Square lMNO is shown in the diagram below what are the coordinates of the midpoint of a diagonal LN

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint of LN are $(-2\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})$

answer (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the midpoint of a line

- The coordinates of the midpoint of a line whose endpoints are (x1 , y1)

and (x2 , y2) are $x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$

∵ LMNO is a square

∵ The coordinates of point L are (-6 , 1)

∵ The coordinates of point N are (1 , 8)

- Let the coordinates of point L are (x1 , y1) , the coordinates of point

N are (x2 , y2) and the coordinates of the midpoint of LN are (x , y)

∴ x1 = -6 , x2 = 1 and y1 = 1 , y2 = 8

- Use the rule of the midpoint above to find the midpoint (x , y)

∵ $x=\frac{-6+1}{2}=\frac{-5}{2}=-2\frac{1}{2}$

∵ $y=\frac{1+8}{2}=\frac{9}{4}=4\frac{1}{2}$

∴ The coordinates of the midpoint are $(-2\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})$

* The coordinates of the midpoint of LN are $(-2\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})$

A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 2 1/3 hours.

sergey [27]

Answer:

13.7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

d = st

Given:

d = 32 miles
t = 2 1/3 hr = 7/3 hr

Find the rate s:

s = d/t
s = 32÷7/3 = 32 × 3/7 = 96/7 ≈ 13.7 mph (rounded)

Find x !!?????!!!????????????

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Find x

The figure in the attachment is a quadrilateral and the angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360.

So, we have:

90 + 6x + 5+ 10x - 40 + 4x + 5 = 360

Collect like terms

6x + 10x + 4x = 360 - 90 - 5 + 40 - 5

20x = 300

Divide both sides by 20

x = 15

Hence, the value of x is 15
