Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the error (subtract one value from the other) ignore any minus sign.

Step 2: Divide the error by the exact value (we get a decimal number)

Step 3: Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign)

A track and field playing area is in the shape of a rectangle with semicircles at each end. See the figure. The inside perimeter

Schach [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the track straights lengths

Let y be the track ends diameter and the other rectangle side lengths.

1800 = 2x + πy

y = (1800 - 2x) / π

A = xy

A = x((1800 - 2x) / π

A = (1/π)(1800x - 2x²)

dA/dx = (1/π)(1800 - 4x)

0 = (1/π)(1800 - 4x)

0 = 1800 - 4x

4x = 1800

x = 450 m

y = (1800 - 2(450)) / π

y = 900/π or approximately 286.5 m

Find the separate areas.

We have a triangle with base 5 cm and height 5 cm, calculate the area:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}bh$

Plug in what we know:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)(5)$

Multiply:

$\sf A=12.5~cm^2$

Now for the two quarter circles, we know that if we put these two together we will end up with a semi-circle with radius 5 cm. The formula for the area of a circle is:

$\sf A=\pi r^2$

A semi-circle is half of a whole circle, so the formula for the area of it must be:

$\sf A=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2$

Now plug in what we know(use 3.14 to approximate for pi):

$\sf A\approx\dfrac{1}{2}(3.14)(5)^2$

Simplify the exponent:

$\sf A\approx\dfrac{1}{2}(3.14)(25)$

Multiply:

$\sf A\approx 39.25~cm^2$

Now add this to the area of the triangle to find the approximate area of the entire figure(round to the nearest tenth):

$\sf 39.25+12.5=\boxed{\sf 51.8~cm^2}$
