Hi there friend, your answer for perimeter is 18.
I’ve included a graph below to help explain why but basically if you count the squares, each side measures 4 1/2 units so if you multiply 4 1/2 units by 4(the number of sides) you get 18.
In scientific notation, to obtain the original whole number. Move the decimal to the left if the exponent is negative and to the right if the exponent is positive.
So 1 inch = .00001578 miles
1225 / .00001578 = 77629911.28
To obtain the answer in scientific notation, move the decimal to the left until you have a single digit whole number and the rest of teh digits are to the right of the decimal. In this case 7 places. Now show it multiplied by 10 to an exponent equal to the number of places you moved the decimal. In this case the 7th exponent.
7.763 x 10^7
Negative integer.
-761 + 317= -444
Plug the answer in:
-761 - (-444)
= -317
Reminder: when multiplying two negatives, you get a positive.
