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

Mathematics

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%

Point C ∈ AB , AB = 30m. Point C is 1.5 times farther from point A than from point B. Find AC and CB.
Shtirlitz [24]

let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.


\bf \underset{\leftarrow ~~30~~\to}{\boxed{A}\stackrel{1.5x}{\rule[0.35em]{18em}{0.25pt}}C\stackrel{x}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{B}}
\\\\\\
AB=AC+CB\implies \stackrel{AB}{30}=\stackrel{AC}{1.5x}+\stackrel{CB}{x}\implies 30=2.5x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{30}{2.5}=x\implies 12=x
\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill\\\\
AC=1.5(12)\implies AC=18~\hspace{8em} CB=x\implies CB=12
