Answer:

The two numbers are 35 and 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

While you could do this question just by 'guess and check', the best way to do it is to divide 71 by 2, which gives 35.5. So out two numbers should be approximately equal to 35.5. So we just take the two closest: 35, and 36, which are consecutive (consecutive means 'one after the other'), and we see add to 71.

So we see that 35 and 36 is the answer.

The total angles in a polygon is 180 (n -2) where n is the number of sides.
A traingle has 3 sides. using the formula 180 x (3-2) = 180
So
X + Y + Y = 180
X + 2Y = 180 ...eq1
A pentagon has 5 sides, using the formula
180 x (5-2) = 540.
All the Y adds up to 540.
10Y = 540
Y = 54.
Use Y = 54 and sub into eq1
X + 2(54) =180
X = 180 - 2(54)
X = 180 -108
X =72 

So X is 72
and Y is 54

Trick question - you can't! 1/3rd is 0.3 (with the 3 repeating) which can't be an integer

What is -416.56 in scientific notation
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

-4.1656x10^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing scientific notation, the number must be represented between 0-9 (positive or negative) and the decimal place is then moved. In this case to get to 4 you must move the decimal left 2 places, so when you move to the left the exponent is negative
