Simplify(0.3 x 105) \(\div\) (0.4 \(\times\) 107), leaving you answer in the standard form.

A.

7.5 x 10-4

B.

7.5 x 10-3

C.

7.5 x 10-2

D.

7.5 x 10-1

Correct answer is B

\(\frac{0.3 \times 10^5}{0.4 \times 10^7} = \frac{3 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{5}}{4 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^7}\)

\(\frac{3 x 10^4}{4 x 10^4}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}\) x 104-6 = 0.75 x 10-2

= 7.5 x 10-3

In the diagram |XY| = 12cm, |XZ| = 9cm, |ZN| = 3cm and ZY||NM, calculate |MY|

A.

3cm

B.

4cm

C.

5cm

D.

6cm

Correct answer is B

\(\frac{|YM|}{|YX|} = \frac{|ZM|}{|ZX|}\)

\(\frac{|YM|}{12} = \frac{3}{9}\)

|YM| = 3 x \(\frac{12}{9}\)

|MY| = 4cm

A.

180o - z

B.

180o + z

C.

Correct answer is A

x + y + z = 180(sum of angles in a \(\bigtriangleup\))

x + y = 180 - z
