Answer:

C. She left out a zero between the two and the five

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Susan is expected to convert 12,050,000 to scientific notation, what Susan should have done is shown below:

Count the number of decimal places from your right up to before the first digit, and place the decimal point after the first digit. The number of decimal places counted would determine the exponent we are to use.

Here, we have 7 decimal places, counting from the right to the left, therefore, the exponent would be a positive 7.

What Susan should have is:

1.205 × 10⁷ NOT 1.25 × 10⁷.

1.25 × 10⁷ = 12,500,000, which is different from 12,050,000.

Her paper was marked wrong because: "she left out a zero between the two and the five"

What's the error? Jerry says that a cube with edges that measure 10 cm has a volume that is twice as much as a cube with sides t
disa [49]
The quick way to dispute something like this is to simply do the calculation and then create a ratio. 

Cube One (Large Cube)
The formula for a cube is V = e^3 
e = the measurement of an edge. In this case.
e = 10 cm
V = e^3
V = 10^3 = 10*10*10
V = 1000 cm^3

Cube 2 (Small Cube)
V = e^3
e = 5 cm
V = 5*5*5
V = 125 cm^3

Ratio
Large Cube / Small Cube = 1000 / 125 = 8/1.

The difference in size is 8 to 1 not 2 to 1.

Explanation
He's right if he sticks to one side. The ratio of one side of the large cube to the small one is 2 to 1. But once you put that into the formula for volume, three sides are multiplied together and that 2 shows up everytime you multiply the sides together.

Please help me i need to find the area of shaded region please help me​
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Part 1) A=60\ ft^2

Part 2) A=80\ cm^2

Part 3) A=96\ m^2

Part 4) A=144\ cm^2

Part 5) A=13\ m^2

Part 6) A=(49\pi -33)\ in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete rectangle minus the area of the interior rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

A=bh

where

b is the base of rectangle

h is the height of rectangle

so

A=(12)(7)-(8)(3)\\A=84-24\\A=60\ ft^2

Part 2) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete rectangle minus the area of the interior square

The area of square is equal to

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

so

A=(12)(8)-(4^2)\\A=96-16\\A=80\ cm^2

Part 3) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of four rectangles plus the area of one square

so

A=4(4)(5)+(4^2)\\A=80+16\\A=96\ m^2

Part 4) we know that

The shaded region is equal to the area of the complete square minus the area of the interior square

so

A=(15^2)-(9^2)\\A=225-81\\A=144\ cm^2

Part 5) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle minus the area of rectangle

The area of triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)

where

b is the base of triangle

h is the height of triangle

so

A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(7)-(4)(2)\\A=21-8\\A=13\ m^2

Part 6) we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the circle minus the area of rectangle

The area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

where

r is the radius of the circle

so

A=\pi (7^2)-(3)(11)\\A=(49\pi -33)\ in^2
