Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel's house, his parents house, and grandparents house can be expressed as the three vertices of a right angled triangle. Thus, Pythagoras theorem can be applied to determine the distance from Manual's house to that of his grandparents.

Let the distance from Manuel's house to that of his grandparents be represented by x, so that;

/Hyp/^{2} = /Adj 1/^{2} + /Adj 2/^{2}

/10/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /6/^{2}

100 = x^{2} + 36

x^{2} = 100 - 36

   = 64

⇒ x = \sqrt{64}

      = 8

x = 8 miles

Thus, Manuel's house is 8 miles from his grandparents house.

eduard

Answer:

1000xm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 meter = 3.2808 feet, hence. 9.8424 x 10^8 feet in 1 second. 1 foot in x seconds. hence it takes 1 / (9.8424 x 10^8) = 0.10168 x 10^(-8) seconds. ➡️1km = 1000xm⬅️

Why do whole numbers with an exponent get bigger while fractions with an exponent get smaller.
ohaa [14]

Raising a whole number to a power means: 

             Take (a number of things) a number of times, and then possibly
             take that big number of things a number of times again.

Raising a fraction to an exponent means: 

             Take a piece of (a piece of one thing), and then possibly
              take just a piece of that smaller piece.
