Orders of Magnitude are in terms of scientific notation.

23,000 written in scientific notation is 2.3 x 10^4, it's magnitude is 4 ( the number 10 is raised to)

56 in scientific notation would be 5.6 x 10^1, its magnitude is 1.

4 - 1 = 3

2300 is 3 order of magnitudes larger.

The answer is 3.

Leah gets to paint her room since she bought a new bedspread set. Two gallons of paint covers 800 square feet. How many gallons

loris [4]

Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If two gallons of paint covers 800 square feet, 'x' gallons of paints will cover 1200square feet room where x is the number of gallons needed to paint the 1200 square feet room.

Mathematically,

2 gallons = 800sq.ft

x gallons = 1,200sq.ft

x × 800 = 2 × 1200

x = 2 × 1200/800

x = 3 gallons

Therefore Leah will need 3gallons of paint for 1200sq.ft room

In isosceles right triangle ABC, point is on hypotenuse \overline{BC} such that \overline{AD} is an altitude of \triangle ABC an

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Area of triangle is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an isosceles right triangle

Isosceles triangle is the triangle having two sides equal.

Figure is shown in attachment

By Pythagoras theorem

$BC^2=AC^2+AB^2$

AD is altitude which divides the triangle into two parts

DC=5 implies BC =10 since D equally divides BC

Let AC=a implies AB=a being Isosceles

On substituting the values in the Pythagoras theorem:

$10^2=a^2+a^2$

$100=2a^2$

$\Rightarrow a^2=50$

$\Rightarrow a=\pm5\sqrt{2}$

WE can find area of right triangle by considering height AB and AD

Area of triangle ABC is:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot BC\cdot AD$ (1)

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\cdot 10\cdot AD$

And other method of area of triangle is:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot AB\cdot BC$ (2)

Equating (1) and (2) we get:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot 10\cdot AD=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot a$

$\Rightarrow AD=\frac{a^2}{10}$

$\Rightarrow AD=\frac{50}{10}=5$

Using area of triangle is: $\frac{1}{2}\cdot BC\cdot AD$

Now, the area of triangle ABC= $\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 10$

$\Rightarrow 25$
