×

Step-by-step explanation:
When working with scientific notation, you are either given a decimal or whole number. The point of scientific notation is to rewrite a number in a more simplified form.You need to change the number so that there is one number on the left side of the decimal. An exponent is used to describe the change in the number. For example:
0.00003
In order to get one number to the left of the decimal, you need to move the decimal to the right 5 spaces. Since the zeros are to the left of the primary number (3), the exponent will be negative. The exponent itself will be the spaces you moved:
×
The ten is used because of the decimal places you are moving. When you multiply a number by 10, you add a zero. For example:
×
Since there is a 10, we will be adding in zeros. The exponent determines how many zeros will be added. Since it is a positive number, the numbers will be to the right of the primary number:
200,000

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use either angle, but I'm going to use the one on the bottom. So, in order to find x, we need to use tangent. One side we know is the adjacent, and the side we don't know is the opposite, therefore we need tangent. Here's the equation:
Obviously, we can't have a root in our denominator, so we need to get rid of it somehow. Here's how:
We multiply the denominator of the fraction by .
multiplied by itself is simply 2. Try it! We also want to multiply the numerator by
, but there isn't really a number we can use with that, so we'll just add it to the side. The equation you have now is:
Let's try to work this out now. Since the denominator is 2, we have to multiply both sides by it to find x.
We can plug 2 in for the x in the numerator now:
2 and 2 cancel out, so you get 1 in both the numerator and denominator. That's how we get our answer of
Also, because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, you don't really have to do all that work. If it's a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs should be the same length. :)
