Leap years are years in which February has 29 days instead of 28. The device of leap year was invented to keep the calendar in s

ync with the "True time of year" because a year has approximately 3651/4 days, but actually slightly less, most, but not all, years divisible by 4 have been made leap years. The rule that is used to keep the calendar in sync is:

Answer:

As you know, a year has around 365 + 1/4 days.

This means that in two years, we have:

365 + 356 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 730 + 1/2

and so on.

adding this up, when we have 4 years we have a full day extra, this is:

1460 + 1

When we divide 1461 by 4, we have 365 with a surpass of 1.

The rule used to keep the calendar in sync with this extra day is adding an extra day to each fourth year.

So each fourth year, we have an extra day in Februray (the Februray 29th), this is called a bisiest year.

The "math rule" used to know if a year is leap or not is:

if a year is not divisible by 4, then it is a common year

else if the year is not divisible by 100 then it is a leap year,

else if the year is not divisible by 400, then it is a common year

if not, the year is a leap year.

Where "year" represents the number of the year.

Factor the expression completely.<br> 625x4 - 256y4
scoundrel [369]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>(625 • (x4)) -  28y4</u>

<u></u>

<u>  54x4 -  28y4 3.1      Factoring:  625x4-256y4  </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B) </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) = </u>

<u>         A2 - AB + BA - B2 = </u>

<u>         A2 - AB + AB - B2 = </u>

<u>         A2 - B2Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication. </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression. </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Check :  625  is the square of  25  </u>

<u>Check : 256 is the square of 16 </u>

<u>Check :  x4  is the square of  x2  </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Check :  y4  is the square of  y2  </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Factorization is :       (25x2 + 16y2)  •  (25x2 - 16y2)  3.2      Factoring:  25x2 - 16y2  </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Check :  25  is the square of  5  </u>

<u>Check : 16 is the square of 4 </u>

<u>Check :  x2  is the square of  x1  </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Check :  y2  is the square of  y1  </u>

<u> </u>

<u>Factorization is :       (5x + 4y)  •  (5x - 4y)this is the answer: (25x2 + 16y2) •(5x + 4y) • (5x - 4y)</u>

Brett is 75 feet from the base of a building. he measures the angle of elevation to the top of the building and records it as 80
SashulF [63]
This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors
