Answer:

$- \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we find the line that's perpendicular to another?

We find the negative reciprocal. So for example if our slope is 2, the negative reciprocal would be $- \frac{1}{2}$ .

a manufacturer of bicycle parts requires that a bicycle chain have a width of 0.3 inch with an absolute deviation of at most 0.0

quester [9]

Answer:

$|w-0.3| \leq 0.0003$

And solving we got:

$-0.0003 \leq w-0.3 \leq 0.0003$

$0.3-0.0003 \leq w \leq 0.3+0.0003$

$0.2997 \leq w \leq 0.3003$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following notation:

$W$ represent the width

And we want a maximum error of 0.0003 so we can set up the following equation:

$|w-0.3| \leq 0.0003$

And solving we got:

$-0.0003 \leq w-0.3 \leq 0.0003$

$0.3-0.0003 \leq w \leq 0.3+0.0003$

$0.2997 \leq w \leq 0.3003$

a 40-foot ladder leans outside against a the cafeteria. The ladder’s base is 20 feet from the cafeteria. To the nearest degree,

eimsori [14]

Answer:

60 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trigonometry of a right angled triangle:

Adjacent side = 20 ft, Hypotenuse = 40 ft.

cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse = 20/40 = 1/2

x = 60 degrees.
