Answer:

8.760 x 10^3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8760 hours in 1 year. So, you can convert this to scientific notation by moving the decimal from 8760 three times to the left: 8760. → 8.760 And since it was moved three times, put an exponent of 3 to the 10: 10^3 So, you get 8.760 x 10^3 hours in a year.

Hope this helps! :)

How are the shapes alike

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Each circle (A, B, and C) contain shapes that all share at least one characteristic. Some shapes are contained in more than one circle because they share more than one characteristic. For example, shape 3 fits the rule for circles A and B, but not circle C. It lies within circles A and B, but not circle C.

Show that sin (30°) = 1/2

Natali [406]

Answer:

Geometric proof in explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw an equilateral triangle.

A equilateral triangle has it's sides all congruent and all it's angles measures 60 degrees.

We are going to draw a line segment to cut the equilateral triangles into two congruent right triangles. I will do this in the attachment with p being positive.

You can see we will get 30-60-90 triangles.

We don't need to find the adjacent measurement to the angle whose measurement is 30 degrees since sine is opposite over hypotenuse.

$\sin(30^\circ)=\frac{\frac{p}{2}}{p}=\frac{p}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{2}$
