Euclidean geometry, is simply plane and solid geometry. It is named after the Greek mathematician, Euclid, when he proposed his five postulates which serve as basis of drawing plane and solid figures. So, in a nutshell, a triangle in Euclidean geometry is a two-dimensional figure composed of three sides and whose interior angles sum up to 180°. A triangle in spherical geometry, on the other hand, is a triangle formed by three arcs. Thus, it is three-dimensional, and the interior angles sum up to more than 180°. The difference is shown in the attached picture.

16/32 = P/100
Cross multiply
p(32) = 16(100)
32p = 1600
divide by 32 on both sides
p = 50 %

if a scientist gets unexpected results during the first trail of an experiment what should he or she do next

Tasya [4]

If they get unexpected results they could note what they could've done wrong or what they could change in a next trail of experiments. Or look back and see what different happened to they could've hypothesized. There could be many different courses on what to do next.

Factoring when a=1 with and without a GCF<br> What is x2+4x-117

quester [9]

Step 1: Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order; the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power.

Step 2 : Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

Step 3 : Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.

Step 4 : List all of the factors from Step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x.

Step 5 : After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3.

Step 6 : Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5.

Step 7 : Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping.
