What did Blaise Pascal contribute to mathematics?
Pascal's triangle. It is named after the French mathematician, Blaise Pascal in much of the Western world, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in India, Greece, Iran, China, Germany, and Italy. The rows of Pascal's triangle are conventionally enumerated starting with row n = 0 at the top. The entries in each row are numbered from the left beginning with k = 0 and are usually staggered relative to the numbers in the adjacent rows. (Wikipedia)
The top of the triangle -
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
And you can continue on, using the same rules.
What did Pierre Simon Laplace discovered?
He formulated Laplace's equation, and pioneered the Laplace transform which appears in many branches of mathematical physics, a field that he took a leading role in forming. The Laplacian differential operator, widely used in mathematics, is also named after him.
He restated and developed the nebular hypothesis of the origin of the solar system and was one of the first scientists to postulate the existence of black holes and the notion of gravitational collapse.

How many 1cm cubed will fit inside a box measuring 4 cm?
There is not enough information.
For example, if the box measures 4 cm * 0.5 cm * 0.5 cm then no cube will fit in it.
How did Nicolaus Copernicus study the sun?
umm well he didn't he only guessed however later on a guy called Galileo Galilei heard about a telescope and actually found out that Copernicus was correct
What is the average of 6 centimeters 9 centimeters 7 centimeters and 10 centimeters?
8 because you add all the number and then you divide how many number there are so 6cm + 9cm + 7cm + 10cm = 32cm and 32 divides by 4 equals 8
What is Fibonacci sequence conclusion?
There is no conclusion to the Fibonacci sequence - it continues on infinitely.
The conclusion is that successive terms tend to a constant ratio with one another. So if a is one term, the next is ar and the one after that is ar2. Then from the rule that any term is the sum of the previous two, ar2=ar +a, which means r2-r-1=0 so r =(1+sqrt5)/2 (the golden ratio). There is no end to this series.
