Answer Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of sphere=74 cm

Error=0.5 cm

a.We know that circumference of sphere=C=2\pi r

Using the formula

74=2\pi r

r=\frac{74}{2\pi}=\frac{37}{\pi}

C=2\pi r

Differentiate w.r.t r

\frac{dC}{dr}=2\pi

dC=2\pi dr

dr=\frac{dC}{2\pi}=\frac{0.5}{2\pi}

Surface area of sphere=S=4\pi r^2

Maximum area in the surface area=dS=8\pi rdr

dS=8\pi\times \frac{37}{\pi}\times \frac{0.5}{2\pi}=23.5\approx 24 cm^2

Hence,the maximum area in the surface area=24 square cm

Relative error=\frac{\Delta S}{S}\approx \frac{dS}{S}

\frac{\Delta S}{S}=\frac{8\pi rdr}{4\pi r^2}=2\frac{dr}{r}=2\times \frac{\frac{0.5}{2\pi}}{\frac{37}{\pi}}=2\times \frac{0.5}{2\pi}\times \frac{\pi}{37}=0.014

Hence, the relative error=0.014

An image of two concentric circles is shown with r2 = 6 and r1 = 2:
AysviL [449]

The radius of the Outer circle (with r₂) is 6 and the radius of the inner circle (with r₁) is 2. When objects are similar, they have a proportional relationship. If we take the outer circle and squeeze by one third, we get a radius of 6 x 1/3 = 2. On the other hand, if we start with the inner circle and stretch it by 3, we get a radius of 2 x 3 = 6.


Thus, to make r₂ similar, we use a scale factor of 1/3. The third choice is best.

24 inches is 250% of what length
Alinara [238K]
The answer is:  " 9.6 inches " .
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________

24 = 250/100 * x  ;

24 = 2.5 x ; 

↔  2.5 x = 24 ; 

2.5 x / 2.5 = 24/ 2.5 ; 

x = 9.6 ; 

The answer is:  " 9.6 inches <span>" .
