Why does 1.5 x 4.2 equal 6.3? Someone answer please

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Look at it this way, you are adding 4.2, .5 times. So if you find what 1.5 is of 4.2 you then add that to 4.2. The 1 stands for how many times the number is being multiplied by. So in this case the number is only being multiplied once. Then we move onto the decimal point which says that the number is being multiplied by .5 times. This means that 2.1 (which is half of 4.2) is being added onto 4.2. Hope this makes sense. I always use a calculator for multiplying so its hard to put the process into words haha.

The formal definition of a polygon states that a polygon is a closed plane figure formed by _____ or more segments called sides.

Alona [7]

The answer would be three. The reasons are clear. You can't form a closed figure when you just have two sides. All they would do is just intersect each other. Also, one side must intersect with two other noncollinear sides. This means that a polygon has to have at least three sides.
