Answer:

Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 90,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

90,000,000 = 9\times 10^7\\\text{Comparing to } 9\times 10^a\\\Rightarrow a=7

The distance from Jupiter to the Sun = 500,000,000 miles

Converting it into scientific form:

500,000,000 = 5\times 10^8\\\text{Comparing to } 5\times 10^b\\\Rightarrow b=8

Distance of Jupiter from the Sun and the Earth  from the Sun =

\displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance between Jupiter and Sun}}{\text{Distance between Earth and Sun}}\\\\=\frac{5\times 10^8}{9\times 10^7} = 5.55 \appox 5.6

Hence, Jupiter is about 5.6 times further from the Sun than the Earth is from the Sun.

10*a = 10000000

a = 1000000, one million

5*10*b = 500000000

b = 10000000, ten million

About ten times.

Bearing in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise function with two cases, thus

\bf |-n|=
\begin{cases}
+(-n)\\
-(-n)
\end{cases}\implies 
\begin{cases}
-n\\
n
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
n|-n|=2n\implies 
\begin{cases}
n-n=2n\implies 0=2n\implies &0=n\\
n+n=2n\implies 2n=2n\impliedby &inconsistent
\end{cases}

I need help...I'm new to all this geometry stuff can someone please show me some steps to this problem
Rasek [7]


There really aren't any steps. It's just a handy fact about Isosceles triangles.

An Isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides that are the same length,
and one of the facts about this kind of triangle is that the angles opposite the
two equal sides are equal angles.

In your picture, the two sides of the triangle that have tick marks across them
are equal lengths, and that means that the angles at 'S' and 'U' are equal angles.

In this kind of triangle, those are called the "base angles", even though they
don't necessarily have to be the angles that the triangle stands on.  They're
just the two angles that are opposite the two equal sides.
