New pool liner |
2021-07-14 |
|
Kareena pose la question :
I have a rectangular prism shaped pond that are 4ft by 8ft by 2ft. My pond is
lined on the sides and bottom with a pool liner so that it doesn't leak (the top
of the pool does NOT have a liner). I am redoing my pool and would like to
increase the size of the pond. Each dimension will increase by the same amount,
and the size of the pool liner will double. How much I am increasing each
dimension of the pond? Give an exact answer and than an approx. answer rounded to
the nearest tenth.

|
Joe pose la question :
If the next closest galaxy is 15 quadrillion miles away and there are 8760 hours
in one year; how fast would a UFO have to fly to travel from the next
galaxy, in MPH in one year ?
Google calculator gives this result: 1.7123288e+12
I don't understand what the "e+12" means.
How is that pronounced, ex. trillion, quadrillion etc..?
