Math History
Far more interesting than one might first expect, the history of mathematics is filled with bitter rivalries, political machinations, and incredible innovations by some of the most amazing minds in history. Post all questions concerning individual mathematicians, the development of mathematical theories, and the sociological impact that resulted into this category.

What it is saying is that to get the Area of a room you must multiply the Length of the room times the Width of the room.
It is saying the Length (L) is 15, and the Width (W) is 10.
So, now you must multiply the Length (15) by the Width (10) to get your answer (the Area).
I do not know, but I do know that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters.
50 feet (12 inches/1 foot)(2.54 centimeters/1 inch)(1 meter/100 centimeters)
= approximately 15 meters

The number -36 has the value -36. Any other number does not.
The concept of PI was written about 3,912 years ago, because the earliest known textually evidenced approximations of PI date from around 1900 BC. They are found in the Egyptian Rhind Papyrus.
But only 306 years ago in 1706 AD William Jones was the first to use the Greek letter PI referring to the ratio of the perimeter to the diameter, which is constant for all circles.
How many 7 digit numbers can be formed by the digits 1 2 3 4?
This is a problem called a permuation (if order matters).
For the first digit, you have 4 choices, for the second, you also have 4 choices:
So, if it were a two digit number, you would have 16 choices:
11 21 31 41
12 22 32 42
13 23 33 43
14 24 34 44
Notice that 16 is 4 x 4. This pattern can be generalized to get the following formula (Fundamental counting prinicple):
You multiply the number of choices for each slot to get the total number of arrangements:
So, for your question, it is 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4= 16384.

104 = ten thousand
105 = hundred thousand
106 = million
109 = billion
1012 = trillion
1015 = quadrillion
1018 = quintillion
1021 = sextillion
1024 = septillion
1027 = octillion
1030 = nonillion
