Speedometer has a percent error of 10%. the actual speed of the car is 40 mph. select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statement. the speedometer is likely to show the speed is mph or .

Answer = 36.0 mph

As per the question,

Actual speed of the car = 40 mph.

Speedometer has a percent error of 10%.

The error can be negative as well as positive.

If the error is negative, it means speedometer is showing less speed than actual speed= - 10%

10  % of 40 = 4

speed shown by speedometer = 40 - (10% of 40) = 36 mph

If the error is positive, it means speedometer is showing more speed than actual speed = +10%

speed shown by speedometer = 40 + ( 10% of 40) = 44 mph

as per the given options, correct option is 36.0 mph

36 to 44, i would like those 3 wacky numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
