Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 12cm and the area of the rectangle is 60cm2.

Explanation:

By definition, the angles of a rectangle are right. Therefore, drawing a diagonal creates two congruent right triangles. The diagonal of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The sides of the rectangle are the legs of the right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the unknown side of the right triangle, which is also the unknown length of the rectangle.

Recall that the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sun of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2=c2

52+b2=132

25+b2=169

25−25+b2=169−25

b2=144

√b2=√144

b=±12

Since the length of the side is a measured distance, the negative root is not a reasonable result. So the length of the rectangle is 12 cm.

The area of a rectangle is given by multiplying the width by the length.

A=(5cm)(12cm)

A=60cm2

Convert 91007500 to scientific notation

sesenic [268]

Scientific notation is a number greater than 0 and less than 10 multiplied by 10 to a power. The expression will be equal to the number given.
91007500
We move the decimal place first so that the number is within our range:
9.1007500
Then we count how many places we moved the decimal. In this case we moved it to the left 7 times, so our exponent of 10 will be 7
Therefore in scientific notation it is 9.1007500 x 10^7
Some teachers prefer to have scientific notation rounded off to the nearest 10th place, so that would be:
9.1 x 10^7
