The angstrom, also known as the angstrom unit, is a measure of displacement equal to 0.0000000001 meter (10 -10 m). It would be helpful to convert the units of angstrom to mm. We do as follows:

diameter = 2 x 1.35 x10^ -10 m ( 1000 mm / 1 m ) = 2.7 x 10^-10 mm / atom

Number of gold atoms = 8.5 mm / 2.7 x 10^-10 mm / atom = 31481481481.481 atoms

Answer: Hello there!

We know that one millimeter is equivalent to 10^7 angstroms

then 8.5 mm is equal to 8.5x10^7 angstroms

Now we know that the radius of a gold atom is 1.35 angstroms, and we want to know how many gold atoms would take to line up a span of 8.5mm (or 8.5x10^7 angstroms)

First, the interval of distance that each atom would need in the line, is equal tho the diameter of the atom (assuming that there is no space between the atoms)

And the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so D = 2*1.35 angstroms = 2.7 angstroms.

So the amount of gold atoms needed to line up a span of 8.5 mm, is the number of times that 2.7 "enters" in 8.5x10^7

this is (8.5x10^7)/2.7 = (8.5/2.7)x10^7 = 3.15x10^7

Then there are 3.15x10^7 gold atoms in a line of 8.5 mm.

Answer:

Part a) The new rectangle labeled in the attached figure N 2

Part b) The diagram of the new rectangle with their areas in the attached figure N 3, and the trinomial is $x^{2} +11x+28$

Part c) The area of the second rectangle is 54 in^2

Part d) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure N 1

Part a) If the original square is shown below with side lengths marked with x, label the second diagram to represent the new rectangle constructed by increasing the sides as described above

we know that

The dimensions of the new rectangle will be

$Length=(x+4)\ in$

$width=(x+7)\ in$

The diagram of the new rectangle in the attached figure N 2

Part b) Label each portion of the second diagram with their areas in terms of x (when applicable) State the product of (x+4) and (x+7) as a trinomial

The diagram of the new rectangle with their areas in the attached figure N 3

we have that

To find out the area of each portion, multiply its length by its width

$A1=(x)(x)=x^{2}\ in^2$
