Okay. 10^12 is 1 trillion. 1 trillion * 7 is 7 trillion. 14 trillion / 7 trillion is 2. The national debt in 2010 is two times larger than in 2003. So that basically means that the national debt doubled from 2003 to 2010.

Answer:  About 2 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In 2010, the national debt of the United States was about 14 trillion dollars.

We know that 1 trillion =1,000,000,000,000= 10^{12}

then, In 2010, the national debt of the United States was about 14\times10^{12}

dollars.

In 2003 it was about 7\times10^{12} dollars.

Now, the number of times the national debt was larger in 2010 than 2003 :-

\dfrac{ 14\times10^{12}}{7\times10^{12}}\\\\=\dfrac{14}{7}\times10^{12-12}\\\\=2\times10^0=2

Hence, national debt was about 2 times larger in 2010 than 2003 .

What is the surface area of this triangular pyramid?
lidiya [134]

<em>48.25 in^2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a pyramid is:

SA=B+\frac{1}{2}l(number of base sides)(b)

B represents the area of the base, which in this case is a triangle. We will figure out the area of the base first, using the formula for the area of a triangle.

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

A=.5*5*4.3

A = 10.75

Now we can plug in 10.75 for B.

SA=10.75+.5*5*3*5

The cursive L will be the lateral height, which is 5. Since there are 3 sides on the base we can put that in for the number of base sides, and the base is 5.

SA=

48.25 in^2

Scientific notation of 0.000125
tester [92]

Answer:

1.25 × 10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal until it's at 1.25. You had to go right 4 times so it's negative. If it were 12500 then you'd do it until it was 1.2500 which would be going left so it'd be a positive 4
