Answer: 512 grains on the 10th square. 1023 total grains on all 10 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ways: add the number of grains on each square

1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512 = 1023

Or set up an equation using sigma: Σ

Put 10 on top and n=1 on the bottom. Next to it, put 2^(n-1).

Find x. <br> 2√3<br> 4√3 <br> 8√3 <br> 8
qwelly [4]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin 30 = 4/x

Multiply each side by x

x sin 30 = 4

Divide each side by sin 30

x sin 30 /sin 30 = 4 sin 30

x = 4 /sin 30

We know that sin 30 = 1/2

x = 4 / 1/2

x = 8

Determine if the sides form a right triangle.
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Yes, it's a right-angle triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

3 root 2 is 4.24

3 root 3 is 5.2

3 root 5 is 6.71

3 root 5 is the longest side, so must be the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(3 root 3)^2 + (3 root 2)^2 = c^2

45 = c^2

Square root both sides

C = root 45

( simplified to C= 3 root 5)

Thus, it is a right-angle triangle.

(Root means a square root)

Hope this helps!

Even though the elimination method is easy I still have trouble with it
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

(1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+4y = 9

2x -4y= -6

Add the equations together

x+4y = 9

2x -4y= -6

-------------------

3x +0y = 3

3x=3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x=1

Now find y

x+4y = 9

1 +4y =9

Subtract 1 from each side

4y = 8

Divide by 4

4y/4 = 8/4

y =2
