Question

help! the measurements of the base and altitude of a triangle are found to be 37 and 32 centimeters. the possible error in each measurement is 0.15. use differentials to estimate the propagated error in computing the area of the triangle. round result to 4 decimal plaaces

Answer 1

Area = 1/2 base * height

Answer 2

oh k

Answer 3

A = 1/2*b*h
dA = 1/2( b * dh + db * h )

Answer 4

whats the dh and db suppose to be?

Answer 5

differential of height, and differential of base

Answer 6

I used the product rule

Answer 7

now you can plug in
