Answer:
yes they both equal 2 1/2
<span>D) 9.0 x 10^10 km
This is more an exercise in handling scientific notation than anything else. Since we have the distance that light travels in 1 second and we want to calculate how far it travels in 5 minutes, we must first calculate how many seconds are in 5 minutes. Simply multiplying 5 by 60 gives us 300 seconds. Now we need to multiply 300 by 3.0x10^8 km. So
300 * 3.0x10^8 = ?
We could first convert 300 into scientific notion, but it's easier to just leave it along and assume that it's 300 x 10^0. So 300 times 3 is 900. And since 0 plus 8 is 8, we have as the answer:
900 x 10^8
But we're not done. The significand has to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. So let's divide 900 by 100 and add 2 to the exponent. So we get
9 x 10^10
Finally, since our data had 2 significant figures, our result should have that as well. So let's add the 2nd digit getting:
9.0 x 10^10
So we know that light travels 9.0x10^10 km in 5 minutes, and that answer matches option "D" from the available choices.</span>
Answer:
- (a) 104 = 4(12+x)
- (b) x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The new side length of Ben's garden is (12+x), since x is the amount of increase above the existing 12 ft side length.
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four equal sides, so is ...
perimeter = 4 × side length
104 = 4(12+x)
(b) We can solve this by dividing by 4, then subtracting 12.
26 = 12 +x . . . . . divide the above equation by 4
14 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
The solution is x = 14.
