<span>A is the correct answer. In geometry, postulate is something that is assumed to be true without proof being given. In contrast, a theorem is a true statement which can be proven. A definition defines or explains what a term means. Statement one is a definition of perpendicular lines and statement two can be proven. </span>
For the sake of example, let's multiply the two numbers

and

together. Altogether, we have:

Rearranging the expression, we can group the exponents and coefficients together:

Multiplying each out, we notice that since

and

have the same base (10), multiplying them has the effect of adding their exponents, which leaves us with:

The takeaway here is that multiplying two numbers in scientific notation together has the effect of multiplying its coefficients and <em>adding</em> its exponents.
True
The two shorter lengths do not add up to more than the longest length. 3+3 is less than 9. Therefore, even if the two shorter lengths lay on top of the longer side, the two ends cannot meet to form a closed 3 sided figure
