Find the area and perimeter of a triangle the side 5 and the base 17

P = 39.7 units, A = 42.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming its a right triangle so to find the hypotenuse, use pythagorean theorem. 5²+17²=x²

x=17.7, so the perimeter is 5 + 17 + 17.7 = 39.7

and the area is 1/2(5)(17) = 42.5

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
