2.1x 10^8 is how many times the value of 4.2 x 10^2?
Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find out how many times larger something is than something else, you have to divide. We will set up a problem that looks like this:

\frac{2.1*10^8}{4.2*10^2}

Diving 2.1 by 4.2 gives us .5; to divide the exponents, we remember that if we divide like bases we have to subtract the exponents. 10 is our base in both cases, so 8 - 2 gives us 6, resulting in:

.5*10^6

However, this isn't in scientific notation. We need to move the decimal one more place to the right, which in trn reduces the exponent by 1:

5*10^5

I keep getting several answers, and I’m not sure how to solve this ? Help me pleaseee!!
algol [13]

Answer:

Perimeter= 44.2 inches

Area= 70 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter- Add all your sides together (10+ 17.2+2+3+7+5=44.2)

Area- 1/2bh (b=base, h=height)

Your base is the bottom of the triangle, so 2+7+5=14.

14 is your base

Your height is the 10

1/2 *14*10

1/2 of 14 is 7

7*10= 70

Don't forget to write inches squared or it will be wrong

Hope this helps :)
