The answer is:  [B]:  " 3.99 * 10⁻⁶ " .
______________________________________________

______________________________________________
We are given the following answer choices, and we are asked which one is the "smallest number" :
_______________________________________________
  [A]:  4.4 * 10⁻⁵
_________________________________________
  [B]:  3.99 ⋅ 10⁻⁶
______________________
  [C]:  2.6 ⋅ 10²
______________________
  [D]:  1.85 ⋅ 10³
_______________________
         We can rule out answer choices: [C] and [D]; since these values, essentially "direct us" to move the decimal point FORWARD "2 places" and "3 places", respectively;  whereas choices [A] and [B] essentially "direct us" to move the decimal point BACKWARD "5 places" and "6 places" respectively.  Note that all values given in the answer choices are written in proper "scientific notation" —that is, beginning with a "single integer followed by (a) decimal point(s) and then additional digits (when needed).  So, the answer choice that essentially "directs us" to move the decimal point BACKWARD "6 places" —

             →   Answer choice:  [B]:  " 3.99 * 10⁻⁶ "  ;
______________________________________________
                  is the smallest value ; and as such, the correct answer.

What is the area of the semi circle if the diameter is 10 cm
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

39.25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a circle is pi x radius x radius.

So to get the radius, you multiply 10 and 1/2.  You should get 5.  Then you multiply 5 by 5.  You should get 25.

Then you multiply 3.14 and 25.  You should get 78.5.

The last step is to divide 2 by 78.5. You should get 39.25
