To solve for x we proceed as follows:
from the laws of logarithm, given that:
log_a b=c
then
a^c=b
applying the rationale to our question we shall have:
log_5 x=4
hence
5^4=x
x=625
Answer: x=625
Ummm explain the question more but b seems to make the most sense
The circumference of a circle of diameter 13 m is 13π m, about 40.82 m.
(40.82 m)/(2.5 m) = 16.328
16 may be the best approximation of the number of pieces Malia will need. 17 pieces will make a barrier that is longer (larger diameter) than is needed.
