Answer:

it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to choose the units to be compatible with the use of the number.

In Engineering, we often choose units so the number itself is between 1 and 1000. Here, that means 3.4×10^-7 mm would be better expressed as 3.4 angstroms or 340 pm (picometers). (The purpose of SI prefixes is to facilitate this way of representing metric measures.)

If you're comparing the length to something measured in km, then the representation as 3.4×10^-13 km might be the most useful

If you're comparing the distance to something measured in mm, then 3.4×10^-7 mm would be more appropriate than 3.4×10^-13 km.

Answer:

36a2 - b2

Step-by-step explanation:

( 6a + b)( 6a - b)

36a2 - b2

6^2 a2 - b^2

x2 y2 = (xy)2

(6a)2 - b^2

(6a + b)(6a - b)

Solve the problem. The formula d = rt gives the distance traveled in time t at rate r. If a bicyclist rides for 2.3 hours and tr

Contact [7]

Answer:

17.83

Step-by-step explanation:

d = r*t

d = 41 miles

t = 2.3 hours

r = ??

d = rt Substitute

41 = r * 2.3 Divide by 2.3

41 / 2.3 = r Switch sides

r = 41/2.3

r = 17.83 mph Answer

Let c = 10.Which expression makes the comparison true.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

c² - 63

Step-by-step explanation:

4c - 10 = 30

3c ÷ 3 = 10

c² - 63 = 37

c² ÷ 10 = 10

Since c² - 63 = 37 and c + 25 = 35, 37 is greater than 35 so it would make sense to choose c² - 63 as the answer.

c + 25 < 37

I hope this helps you :D

An obtuse triangle is formed if there is an angle that has a measure of more than 90 degrees. You can determine if an obtuse angle is formed by two sides of a triangle if it meet this condition:

Let a and b be two sides of a triangle and c is the longest side:
$a^{2} + b^{2} \ \textless \ c^{2}$

So taking your given:

$10^{2} + 15 ^{2}$ < $c^{2}$
100 + 225 < $c^{2}$
325 < $c^{2}$

To get the smallest possible number, just get the square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{325}$ < $\sqrt{c^{2} }$
18.03 < c

So your smallest possible whole number is 19
