Answer: 130 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a and b are the legs that form the right angle and c is the hypotenuse (the side directly opposite of the right angle)

50^2 + 120^2 = c ^2

2,500 + 14,400 = c^2

16,900 = c^2

Take the square root of 16,900 to get c.

C = 130

Hypotenuse length is 130

Consider the following operations on the number 8.82 x 10^-2. Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantl

Ksenya-84 [330]

Correct question is;

Consider the following operations on the number 8.85 x 10^(-2). Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantly smaller value than 8.85 x 10^(-2), which would give a significantly larger value, or which would give essentially the same value.

A) 8.85 × 10^(-2) + 6.69 × 10^(5)

B) 8.85 x 10^(-2) - 6.69 x 10^(5)

C) 8.85 x 10^(-2) x 6.69 x 10^(5)

D) 8.85 × 10^(-2) ÷ 6.69 × 10^(5)

Answer:

Option A & B yield essentially the same value.

Option C yields a significantly smaller value

Option D yields a significantly larger value

Step-by-step explanation:

Since given value for the operations is in 10^(-2) indices, then let's convert the operations numbers from 10^(5) indices to 10^(-2).

Thus;

6.69 × 10^(5) = (6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2)

Thus;

A) 8.85 × 10^(-2) + 6.69 × 10^(5) is now;

8.85 × 10^(-2) + ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 + (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

The 10^(-7) indices indicates that the initial value of 8.85 × 10^(-2) would not change much and would essentially be the same

B) 8.85 x 10^(-2) - 6.69 x 10^(5) is now;

8.85 × 10^(-2) - ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 - (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

Again the 10^(-7) indices indicates that the initial value of 8.85 × 10^(-2) would not change much and would essentially be the same.

C) 8.85 x 10^(-2) x 6.69 x 10^(5) is now;

(8.85 × 10^(-2)) × ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 × (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

When we multiply 8.85 by 6.69 × 10^(-7), the value gotten will be way lower than the initial value of 8.85.

Thus,this operation will give a significantly smaller value.

D) (8.85 × 10-2) ÷ (6.69 × 10^5) is now;

(8.85 × 10^(-2)) ÷ ((6.69 × 10^(-7)) × 10^(-2))

This gives;

[8.85 ÷ (6.69 × 10^(-7))] × 10^(-2)

When we carry out the operation:

8.85 ÷ (6.69 × 10^(-7)), it is essentially equal to (8.85 × 10^(7))/6.69.

This means that the new value would be significantly larger than the initial value of 8.85.

Thus,this operation yields a significantly larger value.

Answer:

m=25w+80

Step-by-step explanation:

m=money

w=weeks

280-130=150

150/6=25 this is how much she earns per week

25*2=50 this is how much she earned in two weeks

130-50=80 this is how much she had before she worked

m=25w+80

plug in to check:

(25*2)+80=130

(25*8)+80=280

How many soulutions does the system of equations have x-3y=15. and 3x-9y=45

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

<h2>Infinitely many solutions</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-3y=15\\3x-9y=45\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Divide both sides of the second equation by 3}\\\\\dfrac{3x}{3}-\dfrac{9y}{3}=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\x-3y=15\\\\\text{We received the same equation as the first.}\\\\\bold{CONCLUSION}\\\\\text{The system of equations has infinitely many solutions.}$

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a_1x+b_1y=c_1\\a_2x+b_2x=c_2\end{array}\right\\\\\text{If}\ a_1=a_2,\ b_2=b_2,\ c_1=c_2,\ \text{then the system of equations}\\\text{ has infinitely many solutions}\\\\\text{If}\ a_1=a_2,\ b_1=b_2,\ c_1\neq c_2,\ \text{then the system of equations}\\\text{has no solutions}\\\\\text{Other the system of equations has one solution.}$
