Answer:

It's all about the brackets.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we do (-4)^2, the brackets make it -4 x -4 and the two negatives make a positive of 16.

If we do -4^2, that means that the 4 is squared before putting the minus sign there so you have 4x4 = 16 then put the minus to get -16.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4^2= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you square something your are multiplying that number by itself. So in this case you must multiply 4 x 4 which is sixteen. Another example of this is 3^2 which is 9. In this case you must multiply 3 x 3 which is nine.

Solve each triangle - find any missing side and angle measures. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
Basile [38]

The sides of the right-angle triangle will be 16 units and 20.30 units. And the missing angle will be 52°.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

The side AC will be

tan 38° = 12.5 / AC

      AC = 15.999

      AC ≈ 16 units

Then the side AB will be

AB² = 12.5² + 16²

 AB = 20.30 units

We know that the angle sum is 180 degrees. Then we have

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

38° + ∠B + 90° = 180°

                  ∠B = 52°

More about the right-angle triangle link is given below.
