Allison measured her rectangular deck and found that it has dimensions of 512 yards by 8 yards. Both the length and the width may have a measurement error of up to 15%. What is the maximum possible area of Allison’s deck, rounded to the nearest thousandth of a square yard?

5416.96 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum possible area, increase the dimensions by 15%, since the measurement error may be up to 15%.

512(1.15) = 588.8

8(1.15) = 9.2

Find the area using the area formula, A = lw

Plug in the length and width:

A = lw

A = (588.8)(9.2)

A = 5416.96

So, the maximum possible area is 5416.96 square yards

answer:   the paragraph proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

given: in a δxwy where

such that, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx and zw≅zy

we have to prove that: segment zx is a perpendicular bisector of segment wy.

prove: since, zw≅zy ⇒ ∠wzy is a supplementary angle.

then, ∠wzy= 180°

⇒∠wzx + ∠yzx = 180° ( because xz divides ∠wzy into two parts)

but, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx ( given)

⇒∠wzy+∠wzy=180° ( by substitution)

⇒2∠wzy=180°

⇒∠wzy=90°

⇒∠wzy=∠yzx =90°

therefore, xz⊥wy where wz=zy

⇒zx is a perpendicular bisector of wy.
