The other leg is  12 cm  long.

Step-by-step explanation:

c

2

=

a

2

+

b

2

,

where:

c

is the hypotenuse, and  

a

and  

b

are the other two sides (legs).

Let  

a

=

9 cm

Rearrange the equation to isolate  

b

2

. Plug in the values for  

a

and  

c

, and solve.

b

2

=

c

2

−

a

2

b

=

(

15 cm

)

2

−

(

9 cm

)

2

Simplify.

b

2

=

225 cm

2

−

81

cm

2

b

2

=

144 cm

2

Take the square root of both sides.

b

=

√

144 cm

2

Simplify.

b

=

12 cm

What is 150,000,000 in scientific notion, PLEASE answer asap im so far behind!!
dybincka [34]

To write a number in scientific notation, you need to write the number as a product of a number from 1 to under 10 multiplied by a integer power of 10.

First, what number from 1 to under 10 can you get out of the digits of 150,000,000 just by changing the decimal point? The answer is 1.5 since 1.5 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 100,000,000

Now we change 100,000,000 into a power of 10. A 1 followed by a number of zeros is the same as 10 to the power equal to the number of zeros. In 100,000,000 the 1 is followed by 8 zeros, so 100,000,000 = 10^8.

150,000,000 = 1.5 * 10^8
