Answer:

13.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the actual volume of the box

Volume = Length × Width × Height

You measure the box and find that it has a length of 10 inches, a width of 9 inches, and a helght of 4.5 inches.

Volume = 10 inches × 9 inches × 4.5 inches

Volume of the box = 405 cubic inches

Step 2

Calculate the percent error

|Estimated value - Actual value|/Actual value ×100

Estimated value= 350 cubic inches

Actual value = 405 cubic inches

= |350 - 405|/405 × 100

= |-55|/405 × 100

= 55/405 × 100

= 13.580246914%

Approximately = 13.6%

The Percent error is 13.6%

Which expression is equivalent to sec^2x − 1? a. cot2x b. tan2x c. csc2x d. cos2x
Nesterboy [21]
Sec^2 x - 1 = tan^2x

Proof:
Sec^2x = 1+ tan^2x

1/cos^2x = 1 + sin^2x/cos^2x

<span>1/cos^2x - sin^2x/cos^2x = 1
</span>Using common denominator:
(1-sin^2x)/cos^2x = 1
sin^2x + cos^2 x = 1
cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2x
Substituting : 
cos^2x/<span>cos^2x = 1
</span>1 = 1

A postcard has an area of 24 square inches. Two enlargements of the postcard have areas of 54 square inches and 96 square inches
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

original is 4 & 6.

for 54 sq inch= 6 & 9 and for 96 sq inch=8 & 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length is 1.5 times the width.

so the length is, l = 1.5w ----(a)

lw = 24  =1.5w(w)

lw = 54= 1.5w(w)

lw = 96 =1.5w(w)

Further simplifying it,

1.5w^{2}=24

1.5w^{2}=54

1.5w^{2}=96

so,

w^{2} = \frac{24}{1.5}=16

w^{2}= \frac{54}{1.5} =36

w^{2}= \frac{96}{1.5} =64

taking the square root, we get:

w = 4

w = 6

w = 8

By putting the above values in eq (a), we can find their corresponding lengths:

l = 1.5(4) = 6

l = 1.5(6) = 9

l = 1.5(8) = 12

So a few lengths could be:

(l, w)

(6,4)

(9,6)

(12,8)

Can someone please help
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

She has 28056 before any deductions are taken off. As far as the IRS is concerned every penny she earns is fully accountable for the 4 categories that she has to pay into.

The problem with the question is you are not told what is wanted. Do they want the income before or after the deductions have been made or do they want the accountable sum (28056)? I don't really know. 28056 is one possible answer.

Total deductions

  • Federal Tax     3780.90
  • State Tax           770.98
  • Medicare            406.81
  • SSI                     <u>1739.47</u>
  • All Deductions  6698.16

 Income = 28056 - 6698.16 = 21357.84

I think the answer you want is 28056

One answer it is not is 4*28056 = 112224. The tax is far too low for that kind of income.
