Fed [463]4 years ago

6 0

Answer: 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

uncertainity = 4g

bias = 2g

solution:

σX =0.2 and σY = 0.4

σcX

= 3σX

= 4(0.2)

= 0.8

A triangle has three sides 35cm 54 cm and 61 cm find its area Also find the smallest of its altitude

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Area of given triangle is 939.15cm² and smallest altitude is 30.8cm

<h3>Solution:</h3>

We are given three sides of a triangle, Let the sides be :

( a ) = 35 cm

( b ) = 54 cm

( c ) = 61 cm

We can find the area of the triangle with its three sides using Heron's Formula

<u>Heron's </u><u>Formula</u>

Heron's formula was founded by hero of Alexandria, for finding the area of triangle in terms of the length of its sides. Heron's formula can be written as:

$\sf{ \pmb { \longrightarrow \: \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} }}$

where ( s ) :

$\sf \longrightarrow s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2}$

Therefore, for the given triangle first we will calculate ( s )

$\begin {aligned}\quad & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{35 + 54 + 61}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = \dfrac{150}{2} \\ & \quad \longmapsto \sf s = 75cm \end{aligned}$

Now, Area of triangle will be:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{75(75 - 35)(75 - 54)(75 - 61)} \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{75 \times 40 \times 21 \times 14} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A = \sqrt{5 \times 5 \times 3 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 7 \times 7 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A =5 \times 3 \times 2 \times 7 \times 2 \sqrt{5} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: A =420 \times 2.23 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \boxed{ \pmb{ \sf A =939.15 {cm}^{2} }} \end{aligned}$

Also, we have to find the smallest altitude, and the smallest altitude will be on the longest side. So,

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: Area =939.15 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2} \times b \times h =939.15 \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2} \times 61 \times h = 939.15 \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: h =939.15 \times \dfrac{2}{61} \\&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: h = \dfrac{1818.3}{61} \\ &:\implies \sf\quad \boxed{ \pmb{\sf \: h =30.79 \: (approx)}} \end{aligned}$

Suppose you invest $10,400 in equipment to manufacture a new board game. Each game costs $2.65 to manufacture and sells for $20.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 599.42 games
To answer this question, you need to calculate the revenue for every game sold first. The calculation would be:
Revenue= sell cost - manufacture cost= $20-$2.65= $17.35/game.

Break even is the point when the game manufacturing cost(equipment cost included) is covered by the revenue you got. Then the calculation would be:

total game cost= revenue per game * number of game sold
$10400= number of game sold * $17.35
number of game sold= 10400/17.35= 599.42 games

Consider the following figure:

motikmotik

Answer:

angle <B = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to sum of two interior angles that is not adjacent to the exterior angle.

We can write the following equation with this information to find the value of angle <B

<B + 71 = 147 subtract 71 from both sides

<B = 76

Round 33.885 to the nearest 100th

maria [59]

Answer:

33.89

Step-by-step explanation:

How to Calculate Rounding to the Nearest 100th?

If the digit after hundredth is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to hundredth. Else remove the digit. Example

124.586

The third digit of right of decimal point is 6

The second digit after decimal point is 8 which is greater than 5

So add 1 to 8

Result = 124.59
