0.0001001

There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:

1.Non-zero digits are always significant.

2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

3.A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant

What is the answer to this question (3x3)+7-7=

exis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming x is the multiplication symbol, you would multiply 3 and the other 3 together. This leaves you with 9+7-7. Since 7-7=0 you can just get rid of both sevens completely. Now you are only left with 9.

Answer:

The Moon's diameter is greater than $1,500$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\ mile=63,360\ inches$

$1,500\ miles=1,500*63,360=95,040,000\ inches$

$240,000\ miles=240,000*63,360=15,206,400,000\ inches$

by proportion

Find the Moon's diameter

Let

x-----> the Moon's diameter in inches

$\frac{x}{15,206,400,000}=\frac{0.25}{30}\\ \\x= 15,206,400,000*0.25/30\\ \\x=126,720,000\ inches$

Compare

$126,720,000\ inches> 95,040,000\ inches$

therefore

The Moon's diameter is greater than $1,500$ miles

I need help with these two trigonometry problems.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

$B \approx 32.1\°; A \approx 39.0\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine theorem: in any triangle, the ratio between a side and the sine of the opposite angle is constant

$\frac{sin\ \alpha}a = \frac{sin\ \beta}b =\frac{sin\ \gamma}c$

In our case, for the left triangle,

$\frac {sin\ 103\°}{11} =\frac{sin\ B} 6 \rightarrow sin\ B = \frac6{11} sin\ 103\°$

Time to grab a calculator and crunch numbers. Double check your calculator is in degrees and not in radians (plug in sin 30°, if you're getting 0.5 you're good) and you will get

$sin\ B \approx 0.53 \rightarrow B \approx 32.1\°$
