Answer:

3^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying an expression with expression with exponents:

If they are dividing, we keep the base and subtract the exponents. For example:

$\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}$

In this question:

$\frac{3^2}{3^{-2}}=3^{2-(-2)}=3^{2+2}=3^4$

In spherical geometry, all points are points on the surface of a sphere. A line is a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equa

mamaluj [8]

Answer: It is not possible that two triangles that are similar and not congruent in spherical geometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, taking a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the sphere and inside is an equilateral triangle, because the sphere is perfect, if we draw a circle (longitudinal or latitudinal lines) to form a circle encompassing an equally shaped triangle at different points of the sphere will definately yield equal size.

in other words, triangles formed in a sphere must be congruent and also similar meaning having the same shape and must definately have the same size.

Therefore, it is not possible for two triangles in a sphere that are similar but not congruent.

Two triangles in sphere that are similar must be congruent.
