In 1989, admiral grace hopper, inventor of programming languages, handed out nanoseconds to members of her audience. the nanoseconds she handed out were pieces of wire that were the distance that light could travel in one billionth of a second. how many meters long were these pieces of wire>

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)

27/4x^6 y^8

step-by-step explanation:

4(3x^2y^4)^3 (2x^3y^5)^4

=

108x^6 y^12 /16x^12 y^20

=

108 /16x^6 y^8

=

27 /4x^6 y^8
