Answer:

The distance covered is 2.1\times 10^{6}  

The value of y is 6.          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A rocket ship is travelling at an average speed of 1.75 \times 10^4 miles per hour.

To find : How many miles will the rocket ship travel in 1.2 \times 10^2  hours and find the value of y in the solution expression?

Solution :

The speed is  1.75 \times 10^4 miles per hour.

The time taken is  1.2 \times 10^2  hours

The distance covered is d=s\times t

d=(1.75 \times 10^4)(1.2 \times 10^2)

Step 1 -  Write the expression:

(1.75 \times 10^4)(1.2 \times 10^2)

Step 2 - Rearrange the expression :

(1.75 \times 1.2)(10^4 \times 10^2)

Step 3 - Multiply the coefficients :

(2.1)(10^4 \times 10^2)

Step 4 - Apply the product of powers :

2.1\times 10^{4+2}

2.1\times 10^{6}  

The distance covered is 2.1\times 10^{6}  

On comparing with 2.1\times 10^{y}  

The value of y is 6 in the solution.

Estimate the area of a circle with a radius of 21 meters. Use 22/7 for pi. (1 point)
V125BC [204]
A=\pir^{2}

A=(\frac{22}{7})(21^{2})

A=(\frac{22}{7})(441)

A=\frac{22}{7})(\frac{441}{1})

A=\frac{9702}{7}

A=1386 square meters

The answer is B.

What is x equal to ? Link down below.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of supplementary angles that line has to equal to 180

180-75 = 105

so 105 = (2x + 5)

you can subtract 5 from each side and get

100 = (2x)

then divide each side by 2 and you get

x = 50

you can check it by doing (2 x 50 + 5)

2 x 50 = 100 + 5 = 105 + 75 = 180
