With rounding:
4 is less than 5 so we round it down to whole number:
9.4\approx9

6 is more than 5 so we round it up to whole number:
62.6\approx63

Now we have to add rounded numbers
63+9=72

Without rounding:
62.6+9.4 to make it more visible I will write it differently:

62+9+0.6+0.4 is equal to 62.6+9.4

we can see that 0.6+0.4 is equal to 1

so:
62+9+1=72

<span>As you see in this example those equations are equal so it doesn't matter if you take rounded numbers or not, it may be different in case like 62.4+9.4  ( 0.4 is just an example it could be any other number between 0-4 ) because in this case it will be equal 71 and another example 62.5+9.5 (in this case 0.5 is just an example, it can be any other number between 5-9 :) ) and here, answer for this equation is 73.</span>

Which is the best definition of an Isosceles Triangle ?
baherus [9]

Answer:

A) but it is not a good choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't like A much. An Isosceles triangle has 2 congruent sides. If all three are congruent, it is equilateral.

Of the three choices however, it is A. B is a scalene triangle and C is as stated, equilateral.

The answer to number 3
Reptile [31]

Answer:

  4.5×10^17 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is half the diameter, so we can make the substitution r=d/2 into the formula to get ...

  A = 4πr² = 4π(d/2)² = πd²

Filling in the given values and doing the arithmetic gives ...

  A = 3.14×(3.8×10^8 m)² = 45.3416×10^16 m²

  A ≈ 4.5×10^17 m²

__

We round to 2 significant digits because that is the precision of the given diameter.
