<h3>Answer: Choice A) 212 square meters</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

14.10 has four sig figs. The 0 at the end is significant. This measurement is accurate to the hundredths place. If the author wrote 14.1, then it would be accurate to the tenths place with three sig figs.

15.0 has three sig figs. The 0 is significant. If they wrote 15 or 15. then we'd be dealing with 2 sig figs instead; however they placed the 0 there to tell the reader "this measurement is accurate to the tenths place"

---------------------

Multiply the values given

14.10*15.0 = 211.5

Round that to three sig figs. We pick the smaller sig fig count to round to since we cannot be certain it is accurate to four sig figs. In a sense, we pick the weakest link and use that to determine rounding when it comes to multiplication and division.

This means 211.5 rounds to 212

Keely makes meringues by mixing egg whites with sugar.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Yes, she will have enough eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an easy question if we carefully think about it.

Firstly we find the total number  of eggs:

- 9 boxes x 15 eggs = 135 eggs

Secondly, the weight of the useful egg whites:

- 135 eggs x 40 grams = 5400 grams of egg whites

Thirdly we divide the egg whites weight by the sugar weight

- 5400/8000 = 0.675 which is larger than the minimum ratio, 3/5 = 0.6.

This means that Keely will have enough eggs to use the whole of the sugar for meringues.

A ship is anchored off a long straight shoreline that runs north and south. From two observation points 16 miles apart on shore,
ELEN [110]
D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222  miles
