Answer:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of $a \times 10^n$ , where $1\leq a < 10$ and $n$ is any positive or negative whole number.

To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is one digit before the decimal point.

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 ( $n$ ).

If the decimal point has moved to the left, the power is positive.

If the decimal point has moved to the right, the power is negative.

To convert the given number to scientific notation

The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:

⇒ 299000000.

Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:

⇒ 2.99000000

Get rid of the redundant zeros:

⇒ 2.99

Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:

⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸

Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Two column proofs Beginner's

Darina [25.2K]

LETS prove the 2nd part of the Question

Here concept of right angles is used

We can see BA is perp to BD

and BC is perp to BE

We have to prove angle 1 = angle 3

i will denote angle by a

therefore we need to prove a1 = a3

as BA is perp to BD hence angle between them will be 90 degree

a1 + a2 = 90 degree

Similarly BC is perp to BE

a2 + a3 = 90 degree

as both equations add up gives 90 degree so will equate them

a1 + a2 = a2 + a3

which means a1 = a3

Hence Proved

Which of the sss-values satisfy the following inequality? 7-\dfrac s2\gt 3

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 6 into place and solving the answer gives you 4 which is indeed bigger than 3. All the other numbers will give you an answer of something lower than 3 which is not what we're looking for in this case.

Krispy Kritters Cereal used to come in a

shtirl [24]

Answer:

1335cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above says that,Krispy kritters cereal used to come in a box with a volume of 2,850 cm3. However, the krispy kritters co. Designed a new larger box 22.5 cm wide, 6.2 cm deep, and 30 cm high and we are now asked to find "How many more cubic centimeters will the new box hold than the old box?

Now we are all aware that the volume of a cube or cuboid(since its a box ) is length multipled by width multiplied by the height.

And we were given the new dimensions which are;

12.5cm wide

6.2cm deep and

30cm high

Apply this given figures in the formula above and we have:

V = 12.5 × 6.2 × 30

= 4185cm³( this is the volume of the box)

Therefore,the difference in volume between the new box and the old box is

4185 - 2850 = 1335cm³
