4.There are 8 elephants in the zoo. Each elephant eats about 2.16 × 105 pounds of vegetation per year. The zookeeper asked Abdulla and Maryam to determine how many pounds of vegetation are required to feed all of the elephants. They wrote their solutions in scientific notation.

1.728 × 106 pounds of vegetation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, each elephant eats 2.16 × 105 pounds of vegetation per year.

Since there are eight elephants, it will cost a total of 8× 2.16 × 105 pounds of vegetation per year = 1.728 × 106 pounds of vegetation

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
