Did you notice the little box with corners marked in the angle down at the bottom ?
That angle is a right angle, and <em>this triangle is a right triangle</em> !
This piece of information is a big help. It breaks the problem wide open.
You know that in order to find the longest side of a right triangle . . .
-- Square the length of one short side.
-- Square the length of the other short side.
-- Add the two squares together.
-- Take the square root of the sum.
One short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
The other short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
Add the two squares: 2,304 + 2,304 = 4,608
The square root of the sum = √4,608 = <em><u>67.88</u></em> (rounded)
-10c+70, just distribute the the -10 to everything in the expression
An easy way of finding the answer to your question is by using a scientific calculator. When I plugged in 6,000^10 it gave me 6.0466176x10^37. Yes the answer is in scientific notation, but if you want the answer shortened out to the nearest hundredth place the answer is 6.05.
