Why is 5 to the 2 power also read as 5 sqaured

Monica [59]2 years ago

The reason for this has to do with finding the area of a square. When you are looking for the area of a square, you use the rectangle formula (since a square is also a rectangle).

The formula is Area = Length * Width

However, since in a square, the length and width are the same, both get changed to the word "Side". As a result, we get the following formula.

Area = Side * Side

This can be simplified to:

Area = Side^2.

Since each number to the second power also shows the area of a square with that given length sides, it can also be called "squared".

The following is an incomplete paragraph proving that ∠WRS ≅ ∠VQT, given the information in the figure where segment UV is paral
Vikki [24]

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.

PROBLEM 2 The height of a golf ball in feet can be determined using the formula h(t) = -16t2 + 100x , where t is the number of s
wolverine [178]

Answer:

<h3>H. 150 ft</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a golf ball in feet modelled by the formula h(t) = -16t² + 100x where t is in seconds, we are to find the height of the golf after 2.5 seconds. To do that we will simply substitute t = 2.5secs into the formula given;

h(t) = -16t^2 + 100x\\\\h(2.5) = -16(2.5)^2 + 100(2.5)\\\\h(2.5) = -16(6.25) + 250\\\\h(2.5) = -100+250\\\\h(2.5) = 150\\\\

Hence the height of the golf after 2.5 seconds is 150ft.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, - 1)?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

m = y^2 - y^1 / x2 - x1

let  (x1, y1) = (-3,4) & (x2, y2) = (2,-1)

m = -1-4 / 2-(-3) = -5/5 = -1
