Write 162 as a product of primes.
Use index notation when giving your answer.

2²×3³

Step-by-step explanation:

162 can we shown as:

81*2=162 as 2 is prime we leave it out and focus of 81:

18*3=81 we leave out 3:

3*6=18 we leave out 3 again:

3*2=6

so our answer is 2*2*3*3*3 which in index form is 2²*3³ as there are two 2s and three 3s.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
