I need help with this question
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

It is all determined by how many spaces and which way the decimal point moves.

Step-by-step explanation:

So here are two examples

<em>Example 1:</em>

500000.00

To write this in scientific notation you would move the decimal place to the left.

You would move it 5 digits to the left so the exponent of 10 would be 5

5 * 10^{5}

<em>Example 2</em>

0.0000042

Here to write this in scientific notation you move the decimal place to the right.

You would move it 6 digits to the right so the exponent would be -6

4.2 * 10^{-6}

The volume of the right triangular prism is 91.8ft. The height of the prism is 10.8ft. What is the area of each base? Show your
kaheart [24]

Answer:

8.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use this right triangular prism volume formula: base area x height = volume

base area = ?

length = 10.8

volume = 91.8

base area x 10.8 = 91.8

Divide both sides by 10.8

base area x 10.8/10.8 = 91.8/10.8

base area = 8.5
