Answer: 6. x=29yd 7. x-6.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

6. All the sides of the square are equal (we know this because of the little lines on the sides), and the equation for finding the hypotanuse of a triangle is a^2+b^2=c^2. That's 20^2+21^2=x^2. That simplifies to 841^2=x^2, which then simplifies to x=29.

7. The bottom of the triangles are the same length, so each one is 2.5cm long. The angles are also the same, which means that the triangles are equal, so we have 2 similarities between the triangles, so they are both the same (You'll learn why later in math)

This is really confusing me:<br> Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

$a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}$

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

$23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9$
