If you round to the nearest inch, the greatest possible error in every side is 0.5 in.

The greatest possible error in calculating the volume would be caused by getting the greatest possible error when measuring all the three sides (with the same sign, all positive or all negative).

Hence, If you make that greatest possible error in all three measurements, you get:

Vol. real = 5 x 10 x 10 = 500
Vol. measured = 5.5 x 10.5 x 10.5 = 606.375
Error = |Real - Measured| = 606.375 - 500 = 106.375
%Error = Error/Real = 106.375 / 500 = 0.21275 = 21.275 %

Rounded to the nearest percent, the greatest possible error is: 21%.

Answer:

The answer is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is dividing 45÷9 = 5

Explain the steps in calculating the mean absolute deviation of a set of data.
Anni [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mean.

Step 2: Calculate how far away each data point is from the mean using positive distances. These are called absolute deviations.

Step 3: Add those deviations together.

Step 4: Divide the sum by the number of data points.

Vector u = <11, 12>, v = <-16, 6>, and w = <4, -5>. Match each vector operation with its resultant vector expr
MAVERICK [17]

3u - 2v + w gives the resultant vector as; <49, 19>

8u - 6v gives the resultant vector as; <184, 60>

7v - 4w gives the resultant vector as; <61, 104>

u - 5w gives the resultant vector as; <-9, 37>

<h3>How to find the resultant of vectors?</h3>

We are given the vectors;

u = 11i + 12j

v = -16i + 6j

w = 4i - 5j

1) 3u - 2v + w gives the resultant vector as;

3(11i + 12j) - 2(-16i + 6j) + 4i - 5j

⇒ 33i + 36j + 32i - 12j + 4i - 5j

⇒ 49i + 19j

⇒ <49, 19>

2) 8u - 6v gives the resultant vector as;

8(11i + 12j) - 6(-16i + 6j)

⇒ 88i + 96j + 96i - 36j

⇒ 184i + 60j

3) 7v - 4w gives the resultant vector as;

7(11i + 12j) - 4(4i - 5j)

⇒ 77i + 84j - 16i + 20j

⇒ 61i + 104j

4) u - 5w gives the resultant vector as;

11i + 12j - 5(4i - 5j)

11i + 12j - 20i + 25j

-9i + 37j
