12 ^3 and 11^3 haven't got the same base so the rules of exponents do not apply.
Bases have to be the same:- for example 12^3 * 12*3 = 12 ^(3+3) = 12^6
This is an isosceles triangle, so both legs are of length 5√2.
Use the Pyth. Thm. to find the length of the hypotenuse. Square 5√2 and double the result: 25(2) = 50; twice 50 is 100. The square of the length of the hyp. is 100, and so the length of the hyp is sqrt(100), or 10 (answer).
I believe B is the answer
Anser is a
a) |-7| < |8| < |9| < |-10|
Hope it helps
