How does the area of triangle RST compare to the area of triangle LMN? The area of △RST is 2 square units less than the area of
△LMN. The area of △RST is equal to the area of △LMN. The area of △RST is 2 square units greater than the area of △LMN. The area of △RST is 4 square units greater than the area of △LMN.

Inscribe triangle RST in the square with dimensions 4×4, as shown in the figure.
from the area of this square, 4*4=16, we remove the triangles with dimensions
3×4, 2×1 and 2×4, whose side lengths are shown in the figure, and we are left with the area of triangle RST.
so
units squared
similarly,
units squared
Thus, the areas are equal.

Answer:
5.2 ×
Step-by-step explanation:
a number in scientific notation is expressed as
a ×
where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer
write 0.0052 as a number between 1 and 10, that is 5.2
we have to the move the decimal point 3 places to the left to retain it's value
3 places left means n is - 3
0.0052 = 5.2 ×
