the moon is about 240,000 miles from earth what distance written as whole number multiplied by power of ten?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>This question is requesting you write the number in scientific notation. An easy way to convert a number to scientific notation is by counting the places you move the decimal from left to right or right to left. Because 240,000 is a whole number you will start by moving the decimal from the end of the number to the left. The decimal must land between the first and second number. In this problem the decimal would move 5 places. You would rewrite the beginning of the number as 2.40. Because you moved the decimal five times, five will be the exponent for the base ten. Your final answer will be 2.40 x 10^5.</span>

andre [41]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Both will use the straight edge to make segments and use the compass to take measurements.

They will draw a line with a straight edge and will find a starting point, then with a compass:

Annie will take the measurement of the segment and, from the starting point of the line, will put in the other point to obtain the congruent segment.

But in Jaymie's case, she will need to do a little more work with a compass because to build congruent angles, she will need to make a semi-circle in the original angle and transfer this measurement to the new line to construct the angle.
