Answer:
a) A = 0.07129 m²
b) A / A ’= 1.77
Explanation:
In this exercise we are asked to find the area in SI units, so let's start by reducing the dimensions to SI units.
width a = 8.5 inch (2.54 cm 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)
a = 0.2159 m
length l = 13 inch (2.54 cm / 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)
l = 0.3302 m
The area of a rectangle is
A = l a
A = 0.3302 0.2159
A = 0.07129 m²
b) we have a second sheet with reduced dimensions
a ’= 3/4 a
l ’= ¾ l
Let's find the area of this glossy sheet
A ’= l’ a ’
A ’= ¾ l ¾ a
A ’= 9/16 l a
To find the factor we divide the two quantities
A / A ’= l a 16 / (9 l a
A / A ’= 1.77
The nucleus is the center of an atom.
