The main property is as follow
(A^p)^q=A^pxq
so only Sam's work is correct because
(8^4)^5 x(7^3)^9=(8^4x5)x(7^3x9)=8^20x 7^27
Answer:
0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
This question boils down to this:
"What is the diagonal of a square with a side length of 90 ft?"
The key to this question is the properties of squares.
All of the angles in a square are right, (90°) but that diagonal is going to bisect two of those into 45° angles.
Now we have two triangles, each with angle measures of 45°, 45°. and 90°.
(an isoceles right triangle)
This 45-45-90 tirnalge is one of two special triangles (the other being the 30-60-90) and here is its special property: the sides opposite these angles can be put as x, x, and x√2 respectively. Why? Well, we know that our triangle is isoceles (the congruent base angles ⇔ congruent sides) and so we call those x...by the Pythagorean theorem...a² + b² = c²...2x² = c²...x√2 = c!
In our case here, that diagonal, being the hypotenuse of our triangle, is going to be 90√2 feet, or approximately 127.3 feet.
Answer:
20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First problem:
The new speed is 26 mph.
The old speed was x.
The new speed is 30% higher than the old speed.
1.3x = 26
x = 20
Answer: 20 mph
Second problem:
A number, perhaps a percent or a fraction, is missing from the problem.
Answer:
-26
