Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Squaring a number means to multiply the number by itself.
For example, 3^2 means 3 * 3.
8^2 means 8 * 8.
(-6)^2 means (-6) * (-6).
In each case above, you see that the number that is squared is multiplied by itself.
In this case, (-4.5)^2, squaring the number -4.5, means multiply the number -4.5 by the number -4.5
(-4.5)^2 = (-4.5) * (-4.5)
Now we need to actually multiply -4.5 by -4.5
When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive, so the product of -4.5 and -4.5 is a positive number. To find that number, you multiply 4.5 by 4.5
4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25
Therefore, (-4.5)^2 = 20.25
Answer: 4:5
Explanation:
Steve earns 8 dollars an hour. His brother earns 10 dollars an hour.
The ratio is Steve:Brother, which is 8:10.
This can be treated the same was as a fraction and simplified, dividing both sides by 2, which becomes 4:5
Answer: 26.1
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The answer is 74.5 if you saying 4 divided by 298 then that is the right answer
(3x + 5)° + (10x - 7)° = 180°
13x + (-2) = 180
13x = 180 + 2
13x = 182
x = 14
∠QRT = 3 * 14 + 5 = 42 + 5 = 47°
∠TRS = 10 * 14 - 7 = 140 - 7 = 133°
