As 7.5mm equates to 0.75cm is is nearer to 7cm than it is to 8cm but it is thought that this may be an inputting error and the expression should have been 7.5cm.

7.5 is midway between 7 and 8.

For practical purposes when rounding off numbers is is accepted that when a five has to be discarded then the previous number is increased by 1. So 7.5 would be rounded off to 8.

This does not imply that 7.5 is nearer to 8 than it is to 7, it is merely a way of dealing with this particular problem which occurs frequently in rounding off number problems.

What is the perimeter 7cm 8cm 12cm?

Oh, what a delightful question! To find the perimeter of a shape, you simply add up all the sides. So for a shape with sides measuring 7cm, 8cm, and 12cm, you would add them together to find the total perimeter. In this case, the perimeter would be 7cm + 8cm + 12cm = 27cm. Just imagine all those sides coming together like old friends for a lovely little stroll around the shape!

What is the surface area of 7cm 5cm 8cm?

Oh, honey, it looks like you've got yourself a rectangular prism there. To find the surface area, you calculate 2lw + 2lh + 2wh. So, for your dimensions of 7cm, 5cm, and 8cm, the surface area would be 2(75) + 2(78) + 2(5*8) = 10 + 112 + 80 = 202 square centimeters.

What is the area of a triangle with 11cm 8cm 7cm?

To calculate the area of a triangle with side lengths of 11cm, 8cm, and 7cm, we first need to determine the semi-perimeter of the triangle. The semi-perimeter (s) is calculated by adding all three sides together and dividing by 2, so s = (11 + 8 + 7) / 2 = 13 cm. Next, we can use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle, which is given by the formula: Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)], where a, b, and c are the side lengths. Plugging in the values, we get Area = √[13(13-11)(13-8)(13-7)] = √[1325*6] = √780 ≈ 27.93 cm².
