Answer:

Thus, we say that x2 is "x raised to the power of two" or equivalently "x squared" (which is x mulitplied by itself). ... The number represented here as x is called the base, and n is called the power or exponent.

Answer:

We say that it is squared because we are multiplying that number twice. A square has two sides, therefore we are squaring the number.

I hope this helps. Please mark me Branliest if It did! Thank you and have a nice day!

4. Determine the circumference of a circle with a radius that is 14.2 yds. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The circumference would be around 90 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2πr

r = 14.2

14.2 × 3.14 = 44.588

44.588 × 2 = 89.176

89.176 ≈ 90

C = 90

Please someone what is the total surface area of this pryamid

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{C.\ (25+25\sqrt3)\ in^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the square and four equilateral triangles.

The formula of an area of a squre:

$A_S=a^2$

a - length of side

The formula of an area of an equilateral triangle:

$A_T=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}$

a - length of side

Clculate the areas:

SQURE:

$A_S=x^2\ in^2$

TRIANGLE:

$A_T=\dfrac{x^2\sqrt3}{4}\ in^2$

The SURFACE AREA of a square pyramid:

$S.A.=A_S+4A_T\\\\S.A.=x^2+4\cdot\dfrac{x^2\sqrt3}{4}=x^2+x^2\sqrt3$

Put x = 5:

$S.A.=5^2+5^2\sqrt3=(25+25\sqrt3)\ in^2$
