Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean first thought that his hand was 20 cm so:

20cm

When he measures with a ruler, he gets 18 cm so:

18cm

The equation is really simple, and you basically do:

20/20 - 18/20 = 2/20 = 1/10 = 10%

The equation is:

1- x/y

x equals the new number

y equals the original number

What is the sine value of 7 pi over 6? negative square root 3 over 2 square root 3 over 2 negative 1 over 2 1 over 2?
djverab [1.8K]
First thing to do is to change the radians to degrees so it's easier to determine our angle and where it lies in the coordinate plane.  \frac{7 \pi }{6} * \frac{180}{ \pi }=210.  If we sweep out a 210 degree angle, we end up in the third quadrant, with a 30 degree angle.  In this quadrant, x and y are both negative, but the hypotenuse, no matter where it is, will never ever be negative.  So the side across from the 30 degree reference angle is -1, and the hypotenuse is 2, so the sine of this angle, opposite over hypotenuse, is -1/2
