Answer: 2 inches, 3 inches, or 3.125 and 2.083

Explanations:
The simplest way is to take 20% of the 2.5 inches and go that much above & below 2.5 inches.

2.5 x 20% = 2.5 x 0.20 = 0.5

So 2.5 - 0.5 = 2 inches was predicted
And 2.5 + 0.5 = 3 inches was predicted.

The more complicated way is to see number + 20% of that number = 2.5, and what number - 20% = 2.5.

Which solution sounds more like what you’re doing in class right now?

If it’s the more complicated way:

0.8x = 2.5 (80% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 3.125 inches was predicted

1.2x = 2.5 (120% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 2.083 inches was predicted

Sorry, this is probably confusing. Let me know what questions you have.

Geometry Question Help if you can please

docker41 [41]

Answer:

≈ 78.55 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the ratio of arc (AB) to circumference (C) is equal to the ratio of angle subtended at centre by arc AB to 360°, that is

$\frac{AB}{C}$ = $\frac{110}{360}$ , that is

$\frac{24}{C}$ = $\frac{110}{360}$ ( cross- multiply )

110C = 8640 ( divide both sides by 110 )

C = $\frac{8640}{110}$ ≈ 78.55 cm ( to 2 dec. places )

What is the value of tan A?

Ronch [10]

For the given triangle, the tan of angle A equals $\frac{3}{4} = 0.75.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the given triangle for angle A, the opposite side has a length of 6 cm, the adjacent side has a length of 8 cm while the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 10 cm. To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the adjacent side's length.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}.$
