A farmer is planting crops in one half of a rectangular field. The full width is 2.7x10^3 ft and the full height is 3.5x10^3 ft.

What is the area of the part of the field that the crops are grown on? Write the answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits and label with the correct units.
Explain how you chose the number of significant digits in the final answer

The area of the crops, in scientific notation, is:  4.725x10^6  ft^2

<h3>How to find the area in scientific notation?</h3>

We know that for a rectangle of width W and height H, the area is:

A = W*H

In this case, we know that:

W = 2.7x10^3 ft

H =  3.5x10^3 ft

Replacing that in the area equation, we get:

A = (2.7x10^3 ft)*(3.5x10^3 ft)

We can simplify that as:

A = (2.7*3.5)x(10^3*10^3) ft^2

A = 9.45x10^(3 + 3) ft^2

A = 9.45x10^6  ft^2

And the crops are in half of that area:

a = (9.45x10^6  ft^2)/2 = 4.725x10^6  ft^2

Why I use three significant digits? because the precision of the measurements is of the order of 10^3, which is way smaller than the order of the area, 10^6.

What is the value of the expression when n = 3?<br> GO<br> - 2 n(5 + n-8-3n)
lukranit [14]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

since n = 3

= -2n ( 5n+n-8-3n)

= -2 (3) ( 5+(3)-8-3(3) )

= -6 (5+3-8-9)

= -6 (5-5-9)

= -6 (-9)

= 54.

Just number 12 please and thank you....please get done asap
Marysya12 [62]
The interest rate on her account would be 38.4%.

If we use the simple interest formula I=PrT, the principle (P) would be 6000. Assuming that it is based on annual interest, the time (t) would be 1/12. Then, you multiply 6000 by 1/12 to get 500. Finally you divide 192/500 and then multiply by 100.


If the time is based on monthly payments, then do the same thing, except multiply 6000 by 1

Find the distance between (-4,2) and (10,2).
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the distance between two points you'll need to use the distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2} + (y1 - y2)^{2} }

2) Figure out which points you'll want to set:

(x1,y1) = (-4,2) (x2,y2) = (10,2)

3) Substitute your values into the formula:

= \sqrt{(-4 - 10)^{2} + (2-2)^{2} }\\= \sqrt{(-14)^{2} + (0)^{2} }\\= \sqrt{196 }\\= 14
