Two explorers on an expedition to the Arctic Circle have radioed their coordinates to base camp. Explorer A is at coordinates (−26, −15). Explorer B is at coordinates (13, 21). The base camp is located at the origin. a. Determine the linear distance between the two explorers.
b. Determine the midpoint between the two explorers.
c. Determine the distance between the midpoint of the explorers and the base camp.
23. A segment has endpoints with coor

a. 3 313 or about 53.1 units

b. (−6.5, 3)

c. 51 25 . or about 7.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

mxb67

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.
