Sara and Sam are each working on a science project in which they need to research the individual masses of the nine planets (inc

luding the dwarf planet Pluto as the ninth planet). Sara completes her data for the planets' masses in kilograms while Sam's data is in milligrams.
Look at picture.


Approximate how many times greater Saturn's mass is than Mercury's.

A) 200,000
B) 2,000,000
C) 2,000
D) 20,000

Answer:

2000 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sara:

Mercury = 3.302 * 10^{23

Saturn = 5.685 * 10^{26

Sam:

Mercury = 3.302 * 10^{29

Saturn = 5.685 * 10^{32

To determine the number of times, the mass of Saturn is greater than the mass of Mercury, we simply do the following:

Times = \frac{Saturn}{Mercury}

Using Sara's measurement; this gives:

Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^{26}}{3.302 * 10^{23}}

Apply law of indices

Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^{26-23}}{3.302}

Times = \frac{5.685 * 10^3}{3.302}

Times = 5.685/3.302 * 10^3

Times = 1.72 * 10^3

Approximate

Times = 2 * 10^3

Times = 2000

The perimeter of a triangle is 17x-5 units. One side is 3.x + 5 units and another is 8x-3 units. How many units long is the thir
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

C = 6x - 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three sides of the triangle = A, B, and C respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter of triangle, P = 17x-5 units

Side A = 3x+5 units

Side B = 8x-3 units

To find side C?

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = A + B + C

Making "C" the subject of formula, we have;

C = P - A - B

Substituting into the equation, we have

C = 17x - 5 - (3x + 5) - (8x - 3)

C = 17x - 5 - 3x - 5 - 8x + 3

Collecting the like terms, we have;

C = 17x - 3x - 8x - 5 - 5 + 3

C = 6x - 7 units

Therefore, the third side is 6x - 7 units long.

State if the two triangles are similar and the rule that applies.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The SAS rule states that two triangles are similar if the ratio of their corresponding two sides is equal and also, the angle formed by the two sides is equal. Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule: Two triangles are similar if all the corresponding three sides of the given triangles are in the same proportion.

Is a triangle with sides of length 6ft, 21 ft, 23 ft. A right triangle?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the Pythagoras theorem, it can be easily determined that whether the triangle is right triangle or not.

Thus, a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} where where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Let a=6ft, b=21ft and c=23ft, then

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

(6)^{2}+(21)^{2}=(23)^{2}

36+441=(23)^{2}

477=529

which is not possible, therefore the given triangle is not right triangle because it does not satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.

Find the period of the function
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

6π

Step-by-step explanation:

The period indicates after which time the sine wave repeats.

You divide 2π by the factor in front of your function variable. This is 1/3 for your function.

So 2π/(1/3) = 6π
