Answer:

The Moon's orbit around Earth has a sidereal period of 27.3 days. During each synodic period of 29.5 days, the amount of visible surface illuminated by the Sun varies from none up to 100%, resulting in lunar phases that form the basis for the months of a lunar calendar. The Moon is tidally locked to Earth, which means that the length of a full rotation of the Moon on its own axis causes its same side (the near side) to always face Earth, and the somewhat longer lunar day is the same as the synodic period. That said, 59% of the total lunar surface can be seen from Earth through shifts in perspective due to libration.[17]

The most widely accepted origin explanation posits that the Moon formed about 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth, out of the debris from a giant impact between the planet and a hypothesized Mars-sized body called Theia. It then receded to a wider orbit because of tidal interaction with the Earth. The near side of the Moon is marked by dark volcanic maria ("seas"), which fill the spaces between bright ancient crustal highlands and prominent impact craters. Most of the large impact basins and mare surfaces were in place by the end of the Imbrian period, some three billion years ago. The lunar surface is relatively non-reflective, with a reflectance just slightly brighter than that of worn asphalt. However, because it has a large angular diameter, the full moon is the brightest celestial object in the night sky. The Moon's apparent size is nearly the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Solution given:

x^3 - 2x^2 -x+2

take common from two each term

x²(x-2)-1(x-2)

take common again and keep left one on other bracket

<u>(x-2)(x²-1) or (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)</u> is a required answer.

note:using formula a²-b²=(a+b)(a-b) for x²-1.

Mr. Suárez wants to paint his storage shed. He needs to calculate the lateral surface area of the shed so that he will know how
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Lateral surface area of the storage shed = 336 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture is the complete question.

The shed is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The lateral surface area of the storage shed can be calculated below. The lateral area is the sides of the prism.

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2h (l + w)

where

l = length

h = height

w = width

h = 8 ft

l = 14 ft

w = 7 ft

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2h (l + w)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 2 × 8 × (14 + 7)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 16 (21)

lateral area of a rectangular prism = 336 ft²

Lateral surface area of the storage shed = 336 ft²

Write 5 as a ratio of two integers
tino4ka555 [31]

The number 5 is a rational number, so you must be able to express it as a quotient, and you can. Dividing any number by 1 gives you the original number, so to express an integer like 5 as a quotient, you simply write 5/1. The same is true for negative numbers: -5 = -5/1
