Width of the actual barrier = 1.2 miles

Width of the barrier in the blueprint = 2 inches

2 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2 miles of original

So, 1 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2/2 = 0.6 miles.

Since the length of the barrier in the blueprint = 9 inches,

length of the actual barrier = 9(0.6) = 5.4 miles.

Sharon and Jacob started at the same place. Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west. Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east. How
Ilya [14]

Consider the coordinate plane:

1. The origin is the point where Sharon and Jacob started - (0,0).

2. North - positive y-direction, south - negetive y-direction.

3. East - positive x-direction, west - negative x-direction.

Then,

  • if Jacob walked 3 m north and then 4 m west, the point where he is now has coordinates (-4,3);
  • if Sharon walked 5 m south and 12 m east, the point where she is now has coordinates (12,-5).

The distance between two points with coordinates (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) can be calculated using formula

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}.

Therefore, the distance between  Jacob and Sharon is

D=\sqrt{(12-(-4))^2+(-5-3)^2}=\sqrt{16^2+8^2}=\sqrt{256+64}=\sqrt{320}=8\sqrt{5}\approx 11.18\ m.

A scientist measures a substance to be 0.8 grams. Calculate the percent of error in the measurement. Show all work for full cred
Volgvan
You'll need to give a bit more information for the question to be answered. You can only calculate the percentage of error if you know what the mass of the substance *should be* and what you've *measured* it to be.

In other words, if a substance has a mass of 0.55 grams and you measure it to be 0.80 grams, then the percent of error would be:

percent of error = { | measured value - actual value | / actual value } x 100%

So, in this case:

percent of error = { | 0.80 - 0.55 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = { | 0.25 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = 0.4545 x 100%
percent of error = 45.45%

So, in order to calculate the percent of error, you'll need to know what these two measurements are. Once you know these, plug them into the formula above and you should be all set!
