To estimate, you should round some of the numbers to the closest number (rounding up or down). It will be more accurate the less you round. In this problem, we should round -5 1/4 to -5 since it is the closest. -5*-3/2 = 7.7. You will end up with -3/2x (-5 1/4) ≈ 7.5x
≈ means approximately equal.
Answers:
1. There are rivets on the belts.
2. Extra information given in the problem:
a. He has 9 buckles.
b. He has 22 rivets left over.
Solution:
1. Total rivets on the belts=(12 rivets/belt)(4 belts)+(15 rivets/belt)(2 belts)
Total rivets on the belts=48 rivets+30 rivets
Total rivets on the belts=78 rivets
2. The extra information given in the problem is the information that we didn't use to solve it. In this case:
a. He has 9 buckles.
b. He has 22 rivets left over.
Answer:
just use a calculator and get 0.00166112956
Answer:
PQ = 3.58, and RQ = 10.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the hypotenuse of the triangle, and an angle. Use sin and cos to solve.
Hypotenuse = 11,
Opposite side is PQ
Adjacent side is RQ
x = 19
Sin x = (opposite side)/(hypotenuse)
Cos x = (adjacent side)/(hypotenuse)
For PQ, this is the side opposite to the angle, so use sin,
Sin 19 = x/11
11(Sin 19) = x
3.58 = x (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
For RQ, this is the side adjacent to the angle, so use cos,
Cos 19 = x/11
11(Cos 19) = x
10.4 = x (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
