Answer:

Sybil may have confused the units, since 65 centimetres is 6.5 meters The correct length of the desk in meters is 0.65 because a centimetre is 0.01 of a meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Her desk is actually 65 centimetre long . She made an error and conclude the length of her desk is 6.5 meter long. She made a mistake in her conversion .

1 centimetre = 0.01 meters

65 centimetres = ? meters

cross multiply

65 × 0.01 = 0.65  meters

A centimetre is equal to  0.01 meters. Therefore, using that conversion rate 65 centimetres will evaluate to 0.65 meters.  

The actual length of her desk in meters is 0.65. She made an error when converting her desk length from centimetres to meters.

The Animal World Safari Park is a rectangular piece of land with an area of 323 square miles. The length of the park is 17 miles
Charra [1.4K]
The area of a rectangle is A = L * W.  We have the area as 323 and the length as 17.  Filling in our formula for area then, 323 = 17W.  Divide both sides by 17 to solve for the width.  W = 19

If a4 = 625, what does (a) equal?
Reika [66]

I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.

If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2

So we go from this

a^4 = 625

to this

(a^2)^2 = 25^2

Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25

From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5

As a check:

a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625

a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625

Both values of 'a' work out
