Tanya has a garden with a trench around it. The garden is a rectangle with a length of 2 1/2 m and width 2 m The trench and garden together make a rectangle with length 3 1/2 and width 3m Find the area of just the trench.

Area of the rectangular trench = 1 square meter

Step-by-step explanation:

length of the garden = 2 1/2 m width of the garden = 2 m

length of both garden and trench = 3 1/2 m

width of both garden and trench = 3m

Length of the trench = Difference in length

= 3 1/2 m - 2 1/2 m

= 7/2 - 5/2

= (7 - 5) / 2

= 2/2

= 1 m

Length of the trench = 1 m

Width of the trench = difference in width

= 3 m - 2 m

= 1 m

Width of the trench = 1 m

Area of the rectangular trench = length × width

= 1 m × 1 m

= 1 m²

Or

1 square meter

Area of the rectangular trench = 1 square meter

6 on both sides and twelve on the top and the bottom

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.
