Answer:

5.20 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude line bisects the base of the triangle to form 2 right angled triangles with hypotenuse = 6 and the base = 3.

So, by the Pythagoras theorem the altitude is calculated as follows:

6^2 = 3^2 + x^2

x^2 = 36 - 9 = 27

x = √27

= 5.20 to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf (2^8 * 3^{-5} * 6^0)^{-2 } (\frac{3^{-2}}{2^3} )^4*2^{28}$

Rule of exponents $a^0 = 1$ , $1/a^m = a^{-m}$

=> $\sf 2^{8*-2} * 3 ^{-5*-2} * 3 ^{-2}* 2^{-3*4} * 2^{28}$

=> $\sf 2 ^ {-16} * 3^{10} * 3^{-8} * 2 ^{-12}* 2^{28}$

Combining same bases

=> $\sf 2 ^ {-16} * 2 ^{-12}* 2^{28}* 3^{10} * 3^{-8}$

When bases are same , powers are to be added

=> $\sf 2 ^{-16-12+28} * 3^{10-8}$

=> $\sf 2^{-28+28} * 3^2$

=> $\sf 2^0 * 3^2$

=> $\sf 3^2$

=> 9

A plane leave an airport and flies due north. (more in photo)

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

104 miles (nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pythagorean theorem which is: c² = a² + b². Where,

c = distance between the two planes = ?

a = distance of the first plane from the airport = 80 - 1 = 79 miles

b = distance of the second plane from the airport = 68 - 1 = 67 miles

c² = 79² + 67²

c² = 10,730

c = √10,730

c = 103.585713

c = 104 miles (nearest whole number)

A jar of M&M’s : 24 brown , 13 orange, 15 red , 10 green , 15 yellow , and 10 blue. Jim is blindfolded and will draw a singl

pshichka [43]

Answer: 24/87 or 8/29

Step-by-step explanation:

24+13+15+10+15+10=87, the total amount of M&M's.

24 are brown, so 24/87 chance that he will draw a brown one.

24/87 = 8/29 simplified.
