A crane has a cable with a breaking strain of 6400kg measured to 2 significant figures it is used to lift crates which weigh 90kg measured to the nearest 10kg what is the greatest number of crates that can safely be lifted at one time without breaking the cable some working must be shown

100/2=50

lower bound of 6400kg = 6350kg

10/2=5  

upper bound of 90kg = 95kg

6350kg/95kg=66kg

Step-by-step explanation:

this is right

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
