Answer:

The signed number that indicates how much of the levee will erode during the next decade is:

-30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Erosion rate of the banks of the levee = 3 feet per year

For 10 years, if nothing is done to correct the problem, the eroded banks will be equal to 10 * 3 = 30 feet

Therefore, the signed erosion in the next decade is -30 feet.

b) The quantity of erosion can be given as the number of years involved without correction, multiplied by the rate of erosion per year.  This implies that the quantity of erosion depends on the number of years and the rate of erosion per year.

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

so there is something called Pythagorean thereon and it states that a^2+b^2=c^2

and 6 is either a or b

and c is ten so

6^2+b^2=10^2

36+b^2=100

b^2=64

here you need to find the square root in order to delete the power so

\sqrt{b} =\sqrt{64\\\\

b=8

or

x=8

I am a 3-digit number that is even. My hundreds and ones digits are the same and have a sum of 8. My tens digit is 2 less than m
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Let's start off with some key terms.

The number has 3 digits.
Even numbers end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. (Obviously)

The hundreds digit and ones digit are the same.
First number in a 3 digit number is the hundreds, and the last number is the ones.

So, both of those two digits are the same and has to equal 8.

Well, 4+4=8

The hundreds place and the ones place are 4.

The tens digit is the middle number in a 3-digit number.

 It is two numbers less than the ones digit.
4-2=2

The number is 424.
