Answer:scales percent error=3.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

P ercent error = Experimental value - Theoretical value /Theoretical value x 100

Theoretical value = 6255 grams

Experimental value ( use of scale ) = 6475grams

Percent error =(6475- 6255)grams / 6255grams x 100

=220/6255 x 100

=3.51%

Answer : 1.96 was the fare in 1979.

Explanation :

Bus fare in Atlanta in 1999 =4.70

$\text{As we have given that in 1979 the fare was } \frac{2}{5} \text{ of the fare in 1999.}$

$\text{Bus fare in Atlanta in 1979=} \frac{2}{5}\times 4.70$

Bus fare in Atlanta in 1979 is given by

$\frac{2\times 4.70}{5}\\\\=\frac{9.80}{5}\\\\=1.96$

∴ 1.96 was the fare in 1979.

Answer:

a=6,-10

Step-by-step explanation:

$4\sqrt{5}=\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(-2-a)^2} \\squaring\\80=16+(2+a)^2\\80-16=(2+a)^2\\(a+2)^2=64\\taking~square ~root\\\\a+2=\pm 8\\either \\a+2=8,\\a=8-2=6\\or\\a+2=-8\\a=-8-2=-10$

Aneli [31]

Her horizontal distance to the rim satisfies the ratio
(10 ft -6 ft)/distance = tan(25°)
so the distance is
distance = (4 ft)/tan(25°) ≈ 9 ft

To draw a line segment perpendicular to XY passing through point x

Andrew [12]

What does perpendicular mean? Well, in elementary geometry it mean 2 lines that intersect at a right angle. (90°).

So for Part one. all you need to do is draw a straight line down from the point X. Name the end point of that line M.

Now you will connect the line M and Z.

Thats it! I hope this helped!! :)
