How do the prefixes in the metric system relate to the basic units?

Mathematics

Lena [83]3 years ago

Answer:

The prefixes in the metric system are used to modify the basic units. The prefixes either make the unit a larger measurement, as in the case of meter to kilometer, or they make the unit a smaller measurement, as in the case of meter to millimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Grams are used to measure weight and liter is used to measure liquid capacity
besides, it is used  so that you can express very large and very small numbers in a short unambiguous manner.
Example Instead of saying "three thousand million" meters
They classify the decimal place of the basic unit. ie, the meter is classified with milli (1/1000), centi(1/100), deci (1/10), Deca (10), Hecto (100), Kilo (1000).

Find three numbers such that their sum is 12, the sum of the first, twice the second, and three times the third is 31, and the s
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

a = 3, b = -1, c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b and c.

Equation 1: a + b + c = 12

Equation 2: a + 2b + 3c = 31

Equation 3: 9b + c = 1

Equation 2 - Equation 1:

Equation 4: b + 2c = 19

Equation 3 times by the number 2

Equation 5: 18b + 2c = 2

Equation 5 - Equation 4

17b = -17

b = -1

Substitute into Equation 4:

2c - 1 = 19

2c = 20

c = 10

Substitute into Equation 1:

a + b + c = 12

a - 1 + 10 = 12

a = 3

A blind man wanders under a door into an empty room. After running into the walls repeatedly for a while, it stops to think and
Nostrana [21]

From the side where the man is located in the 10' by 12' rectangular room, we have;

A) 0.046

B) The average time to escape in first attempt is approximately 605.02 seconds

<h3>Which concept can be used to find the odds and time of escape?</h3>

A) From The given diagram, we have;

Width of the door = 10 - 6 - 2 = 2

Therefore, the door is 2 feet wide

Distance, d1, from the man to the side of the door closer to him is given by Pythagorean theorem as follows;

  • d1 = √(6² + 7²) = √(85)

From the furthest side of the door to the man, we have;

  • d2 = √(7² + 8²) = √(113)

According to the law of cosines, we have;

2² = 85+113 - 2×√(85)×√(113) cos(A)

Where angle <em>A </em>is the angle formed by the lines from the man to the closer and farther sides of the door.

2×√(85)×√(113) cos(A) = 85+113 - 2²

A = arccos((85+113 - 2²)/(2×√(85)×√(113)))

A = arccos (194/(2×√(9605)) ≈ 8.213°

The angle of the possible directions in which the man can turn is 180°.

Therefore;

The probability, <em>P(</em><em>E)</em>, of escaping in the first move is therefore;

  • P(E) = 8.213°/180° ≈ 0.046

B) Given that the man escapes in the first move, the shortest and longest distances the man moves are;

d1 = √(85) and d2 = √(113)

Speed of the man, <em>v </em>= 0.5 cm/sec

Therefore by unit conversion function of a graphing calculator;

  • v = (25/1524) ft./sec

The times taken are;

t1 = √(85)/(25/1524) ≈ 562.023

t2 = √(113)/(25/1524) ≈ 648.014.

Average time, <em>t </em>= (t1 + t2)/2

Which gives;

t = (562.023 + 648.014)/2 ≈ 605.02

The average time it takes the man to escape in first move is <em>t </em><em>≈</em> 605.02 seconds.
