16 Which expression is represented by the model shown below?

Charlie guesses that his dog weighs 34. 5 pounds. The dog actually weighs 32. 7 pounds. What is the percent error in Charlie’s g

expeople1 [14]

Percent error is the amount of error to actual value, in percent. The percent error in Charlie’s guess is approximately: Option D: 5.5%

<h3>How to calculate the percent error?</h3>

Suppose the actual value and the estimated values after the measurement are obtained. Then we have:

Error = Actual value - Estimated value

To calculate percent error, we will measure how much percent of actual value, the error is, in the estimated value.

$\rm Percent \: Error = |\dfrac{Error}{Actual value}|\times 100 \\\\Percent \: Error = | \dfrac{\text{(Actual Value - Estimated Value)}}{Actual value}|\times 100 \\$

(here |x| is such that it makes x non negative, thus, |-5| = 5, and |5| = 5)

For the given case, it is specified that:

Actual weight of dog = 32.7 pounds

Guessed weight of dog, by Charlie : 34.5 pounds.

Error = 32.7 - 34.5 = -1.8 pounds

Thus, percent error in Charlie's guess is calculated as:

$\text{Percent Error} = |\dfrac{-1.8}{32.7}| \times 100 \approx 5.5\%$

Hence, the percent error in Charlie’s guess is obtained approximately is given by: Option D: 5.5%

Anyone wanna help?please

$\large\underline{\underline{\red{\rm\blue{\longmapsto} Step-by-step\: Explanation:-}}}$

Given to points to us are :-

( 3 , -6 )
( -1 , -8 )

( As these are plotted on graph with yellow dots .)

Now , we can use Distance Formula , which is :-

$\boxed{\pink{\tt Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}}}$

Here ,

x1 = 3 .
x2 = -1.
y1 = (-6)
y2 = (-8).

<u>→ Substituting the respective values , </u>

⇒ Distance = √ [ { 3 - (-1)}² + { -6 -(-8)²} ] .

⇒ Distance = √ (3+1)² + (8-6)²

⇒ Distance = √ 4² + 2²

⇒ Distance = √ 16 + 4

⇒ Distance = √20 = √4 × √5

⇒ Distance = 4√5units .

<u>Hence the distance between two points is 4√5u.</u>
