Answer:

We move the decimal point to the right by a number of digit places equal to  the power of 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to multiply a decimal by a power of 10, we move the decimal point to the right by a number of digit places which is the power of the number ten or the number of zeros which are present in the multiplying number 10. If we do not have a digit after the last digit, we put zeros to complete the number of digits until, we have the number of digit places added after the decimal point which are equal to the power of 10.

Using the example given above

8.653 x 10000, we have four zeros. So, in index form it is

8.653 x 10⁴

Since we have the number 10 raised to the power of four or having 4 zeros, we move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

So, 8.653 x 10000 = 8.653 x 10⁴ = 86530

Answer:

If you cut along the dotted line and remove the pieces you cut off, fold the sides inward and you get a moving box.

Each dotted line is 2 feet long, and each un-dotted line is also two feet.

Good luck, I hope this helps because honestly I just tried to figure it out for an hour. Lol.

Answer:

It is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the hypotenuse must be greater than all the legs, we have that 17 is the hypotenuse. So, we want to determine if 8^2+15^2=17^2.

8^2=8*8=64\\15^2=15*15=225\\17^2=17*17=289\\225+64=289\\

This means the triangle is indeed right!
