Planet Q Is 3.6 x 10^6km Planet R Is 1.6 x 10^7km

What Is The Shortest Distance Between Planet Q And R (Answer In Standard Form)

I've Been Stuck On This Question For A Vast Amount Of Time.

1.64×10⁷ km

Step-by-step explanation:

We know this is a triangle rectangle, so we apply the Pythagorean Theorem

QR=sqrt(PR²+PQ²)

Solving it, we will encounter in

sqrt(2.56×10¹⁴+1.296×10¹³)

to solve it, we need to bring the two numbers at the same power of ten, so we move 1.296 of one place to the left:

sqrt(2.56×10¹⁴+0.1296×10¹⁴)

we can now add the two numbers:

sqrt(2.6896×10¹⁴)

to solve this, we do the square root of 2.6896 and divide 14 by two (the index of the root is 2, so for roots' properties we can divide 14 by 2 - the index)

which gives us

1.64×10⁷

gmt is 4 hrs ahead of edt so just add four hours to 1: 14: 20 (minutes and seconds stay the same)

gmt is 5: 14: 20

hope this !
