Answer:
a) 1.8 × 10^-12 cm³ or 1.8 × 10^-12 cubic meters
b) 7.1 × 10^-6 mm² or 7.1 × 10^-6 square millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We are assuming that the shape of the bacteria is a sphere.
Hence, Volume of the Sphere(Bacteria) = 4/3 × π × r³
Diameter = 1.5 μm
Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.5μm/2
= 0.75μm
We are told that the volume should be in cubic centimeters
Converting 0.75μm to centimeters
1 μm = 1 × 10^-4 cm
0.75 μm =
Cross Multiply
= 0.75 μm × 1 × 10^-4 cm/ 1 μm
= 0.000075cm
Volume of the Sphere(Bacteria) = 4/3 × π × r³
= 4/3 × π × (0.000075)³
= 1.767145867 × 10^-12 cm³
Approximately as 2 significant figures = 1.8 × 10^-12 cm³
b) The formula for the Surface area of a Sphere = 4πr²
Diameter = 1.5 μm
Radius = Diameter/2 = 1.5μm/2
= 0.75μm
We are told that the surface area should be in square millimeters
Converting 0.75μm to millimeters
1 μm = 0.001 mm
0.75 μm =
Cross Multiply
= 0.75 μm ×0.001mm/ 1 μm
= 0.00075mm
Surface Area of a Sphere
= 4 × π × r²
= 4 × π × 0.00075²
= 7.06858 ×10^-6 mm²
Approximately to 2 significant figures
= 7.1 × 10^-6 mm²
Elga's age = x
Alvin's age = x + 7
x + x + 7 = 97.
Simplify the left side of the equation
2x + 7 = 97.
Subtract 7 from each side
2x = 90.
Divide each side by 2
x = 45
Since x is equal to Elga's age, Elga is 45 years old
Answer:
Find the hypotenuse:
3^3 + 10^2 = 109
Square root of 109 is around 10.4
Answer:
11 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
6 1/3 = 19/3
7 1/4 = 29/4
2 1/2 = 5/2
19/3 + 29/4 - 5/2
We must find the LCM of 3, 4, and 2. This happens to be 12
3*4 = 12
4*3 = 12
2*6 = 12
Multiply each fraction by the factor that'll get it to 12.
19/3 * 4/4 = 76/12
29/4 * 3/3 = 87/12
5/2 * 6/6 = 30/12
Now go through the problem
76/12 + 87/12 - 30/12
76 + 87 = 163
163/12 - 30/12
163 - 30 = 133
133/12
Simplify
133/12 = 11.0833... or 11 1/12
Hope this helps.
