Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor’s office, her brother’s height is 4 feet,

2 inches.
1. Should Clare's or the doctor's measurement be considered the actual height? Explain your reasoning.


2. What was the error, expressed in inches? (Hint: 12 inches = 1 foot, so 12 is the unit rate to multiply the number of feet by)
Amount of Error = difference between Actual and estimated guess

3. What was the error, expressed as a percentage of the actual height?

Percent Error = Amount of Error x 100

Answer:

  • 1. Yes
  • 2. 2 inches
  • 3. 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Estimated height is 4 feet
  • Measured height is 4 feet 2 inches

1. The measurement is actual and should be considered as such. Estimate is approximate most of the time.

2. <u>The error is:</u>

  • 4 feet 2 inches - 4 feet = 2 inches

3. <u>Percent error:</u>

  • 2 inches/4 feet 2 inches × 100% =
  • 2 inches / 50 inches × 100% =
  • 0.04× 100% =
  • 4%

whats the lateral area of a right circular cone if the diameter of the base is 4m and the slant height of the cone is 15m? round
alex41 [277]
First is to understand the terms. Lateral area is the surface area of a 3D figure, excluding the area of any base. 
<span>Laterial Area (L.A.) of a right cone = pi*radius*slant height </span>
<span>radius = 1/2 * diameter </span>
<span>L.A. = pi*(1/2)*(4)*(15)=30*pi </span>

<span>the formula for this is pi*r*rt(r^2 + h^2). If the diameter is 4, then the radius is 2. If the slant height is 15, then to get the real height we use the Pythagorean Theorem and get rt(221). So the lateral area is pi*2*rt(2^2 + (rt221)^2)...= 2pi*rt(225) = 30pi = 94.248 meters squared which is rounded to 94 meters squared.</span>
