After clarification we see the respective diameters are

A = 2.3 \times 10^{-a}

B = 2.3 \times 10^{-b}

We're asked about the ratio

A:B =  2.3 \times 10^{-a} :  2.3 \times 10^{-b} = 10^{-a} : 10^{-b} = 10^b : 10^a = 10^{b-a} : 1

Now we can go through the choices.

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

A:B=10^{6-4}:1 = 100:1

It would be more proper to say the diameter of cell A is 100 times the diameter of cell B, but yes, this is TRUE.

B. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 100 times greater than cell a.

FALSE. 10 to the minus 4 is 100 times bigger than 10 to the minus 6, so a is bigger.

C. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 2 times greater than cell b.

FALSE. We already calculated its 100 times bigger.

D. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell b is 2 times greater than cell a.

FALSE.

Answer:

A. If a = 4 and b = 6, then cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.3/2.3= 1

10(-4)/10(-6)=10(2)

your answer is 100, cell a is 100 times greater than cell b.

NARA [144]

Answer:

157.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you split the blue shape like in the picture, it shows that there is 1 large semicircle and 2 smaller ones.

The area of a semicircle is (pi×radius²)÷2

First, you would find out the area of the large semicircle by substituting in the numbers:

(3.142×10²)÷2=157.1

Then you would find out the area of the smaller semicircle:

The diameter of the semicircle is 10 so to find the radius you would half it.

(3.142×5²)÷2=39.275

To find the area of the whole shape, you would have to take away 39.275 and then add it back on so the answer would be 157.1

Hope this helps :)
