Answer:

36cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the square was enlarged by a scale factor 2, sides of the old square = 12/2

= 6

Area of the original quare = L x L

= 6 x 6

= 36cm^2

Use a half-angle identity to find the exact value

Tatiana [17]

Given:

$\cos 15^{\circ}$

To find:

The exact value of cos 15°.

Solution:

$$\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{ 30^{\circ}}{2}$

Using half-angle identity:

$$\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (x)}{2}}$

$$\cos \frac{30^{\circ}}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)}{2}}$

Using the trigonometric identity: $\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

$$=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Using fraction rule: $\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{c}=\frac{a}{b \cdot c}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{3}}{4}}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}$

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}$

Using $\sqrt{4} =2$ :

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

$$\cos 15^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

What is the product of 5x10 to the power of 2

ratelena [41]

50^2 = 50 to the power of 2 = 2.5 × 10^3

Explanation:

(50) to the 2nd power or simply '50 to the 2nd' is obtained by multiplying 2 times the base 50 by itself. So,

50^2 = 50 × 50 = 2.5 × 10^3

Note: We say that 50 is the base, 2 is the exponent, and the whole thing or the result is a power of 50.
