The estimate of the amount 28,945,000 is 3 × 10⁷

<h3>What is an estimate of a value?</h3>

An estimate is a rough or approximate calculation or judgement value.

The question is with regards to the scientific notation which is of the form a × 10ᵇ, where absolute <em>a</em> is of a value 1 ≤ a < 10

The scientific notation form of a number is found as follows;

The decimal point on the number is moved from its position to the point such that the number of non zero numbers to the left of the decimal point is 1

The number <em>b</em> is the number of places to which the decimal point is moved.

<em>b</em> is positive when the decimal point is moved to the left

<em>b</em> is negative when the decimal point in the number is moved to the right

<em>b</em> is zero when the decimal point is not moved

The scientific notation number formed, <em>a</em> × 10ᵇ, which is read as <em>a</em> times 10 raised to the power <em>b</em>.

The zeros in the tail to the right of the decimal point are removed

The number 28,945,000 in scientific notation is 2.8945 × 10⁷

The number part of the scientific notation is approximated to the next higher whole number, as follows;

The first digit to the right of the decimal point is 8 which is larger than 5, therefore the 2 is increased to 3

The approximated number is therefore;

Find the value of x.<br> (7x - 1)º<br> (6x - 1)º
dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 1 + 6x - 1 = 180

13x - 2 = 180

13x = 182

x = 14

7(14) - 1 = 98 - 1= 97

6(14) - 1 = 84 - 1 = 83

MakcuM [25]

If your asking to select all that apply,

The formula is arc length = θ ( r ) {\displaystyle {\text{arc length}}=\theta (r)} , where equals the measurement of the arc's central angle in radians, and r {\displaystyle r} equals the length of the circle's radius. Plug the length of the circle's radius into the formula.
