Answer: $1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A number written in scientific notation has the following form:

$a10^{b}$

Where is $a$ is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and b is an integer.

2. The negative exponent indicates the number of places the decimal point must be moved to the left to obtain the number as a decimal number.

3. Keeping this on mind, you can know that: if the exponent of a number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 5 places to the left and another number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 2 places to the left, then the first number is smaller than the second one.

4. Therefore, you can arrange the numbers given in the problem as following:

$1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}$

I don't get the subject of congruent triangles. How do I figure out if there's not enough information to know if it is congruent

babymother [125]

Answer:

Okay, there are many ways to find if a triangle is congruent.

Let's start with some different terminology.

For the sake of simplicity let us say that S stands for when a side is congruent for both triangles and A stands for when an angle (<) is congruent between both the triangles as well.

So, you need to memorize some rules. If you find that 2 triangles are congruent in the sense of; SSS, SAS, AAS, SAA, and ASA. One thing to remember is that Angle Side Side isn't congruent and is called <em>Donkey Theorem</em>. This theorem only works for right triangles.

One way to know if your triangle isn't congruent is if you can find a part of the triangle that is different.

I know that wasn't the best explanation but I hope it helped anyhow. :)

Kevin is 333 times as old as Daniel. 444 years ago, Kevin was 555 times as old as Daniel. How old is Kevin now?

My name is Ann [436]

Let D be Daniel's present age, then we can represent Kevin's present age as 3D because Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel.

We can write an expression for Daniel's age 4 years ago as D-4 and Kevin's age 4 years ago as 3D-4.

We are told that 4 years ago Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel. We can write this information as:

$3D-4=5\cdot(D-4)$
