What is 710,200 written in word form

Julli [10]

<span> For this case we have the following number:
710200
We are going to decompose this number as the sum of three numbers:
</span> $710200 = 700000 + 10000 + 200
$
<span> Let's now write each number:
70000: seven hundred thousand
10000: ten thousand
200: two hundred
Therefore, the complete expression is:
Seven hundred ten thousand two hundred
Answer:
Seven hundred ten thousand two hundred</span>

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.

Susan threw a softball 42 years on her first try and 51 1/3 yard on her second try. How much farther did she throw the softball

Andru [333]

Answer:

28 feet farther than 1st ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Susan threw a softball 42 yards on her first try and $51\frac{1}{3}$ yard on her second try.

To find second ball is how much farther from the 1st ball, we will subtract 42 yards from $51\frac{1}{3}$ yards.

$\text{The second ball is farther from 1st ball}=51\frac{1}{3}\text{ yards}-42\text{ yards}$

$\text{The second ball is farther from 1st ball}=\frac{154}{3}\text{ yards}-42\text{ yards}$

Let us have a common denominator.

$\text{The second ball is farther from 1st ball}=\frac{154}{3}\text{ yards}-\frac{42*3}{3}\text{ yards}$

$\text{The second ball is farther from 1st ball}=\frac{154}{3}\text{ yards}-\frac{126}{3}\text{ yards}$

$\text{The second ball is farther from 1st ball}=\frac{154-126}{3}\text{ yards}$

$\text{The second ball is farther from 1st ball}=\frac{28}{3}\text{ yards}$

$\text{1 yard}=3\text{ feet}$

$\frac{28}{3}\text{ yards}=\frac{28}{3}\times 3\text{ feet}$

$\frac{28}{3}\text{ yards}=28\text{ feet}$

Therefore, Susan thrown the second ball 28 feet farther from the 1st ball.
