explain how the position of the decimal point changes in a quotient as you divide by increasing powers of ten

olga55 [171]

<span>So we need to see how does the decimal point change it's place in the quotient when we divide any number by increasing powers of 10. Lets start with number 1. The decimal point is: 1.0 and when we divide by 10^1=10 we get 1/10=0.1. The decimal point has moved one place to the left. Now lets divide 1 by 10^2 and we get 1/100=0.01. Again, the decimal point has moved one more place to the left. Now: 1/10^3 = 1/1000 = 0.001. Next would be 0.0001, next one would be 0.00001 and so on. </span>

Solve for x . Leave your answer in the simplest form

Hello!

Here we are given a composite shape, meaning that we can divide this shape up into ways that we are given formulas to solve for legs and such.

I can see here that this can be divided into a triangle and a rectangle using a horizontal line.

The leg lengths of this triangle would be 9, because it is congruent to the bottom side of the rectangle, and 7, because it is the left side minus the right side.

This would also make a right triangle, meaning we could solve for the hypotenuse utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
