That's pretty much a tricky question though
For this case we have to:
x: Represents the unknown number
y: Represents the exponent of base 10
So, considering a system of equations we have:

From the first equation we have:

Substituting in the second equation:

We choose the positive value:

So, the number is 0.4.
So:

Thus, the exponent is 5.
Answer:
Yara use 0.4 and
Answer:
20√3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.
<u>Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:</u>
- x² = 40² - (40/2)²
- x²= 1600 -400
- x²= 1200
- x= √1200
- x= 20√3 cm
<u>Correct choice is</u> the second one
