Answer:

(A) The M virus is larger than the P virus in diameter

(B) Diameter of virus M is 25 times the diameter of virus P

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the values given are in the so called "scientific notation", and which involves in this case negative exponents for the multiplier 10.

So we can write these values in decimal form for easier comparison of which one is he largest one:

Diameter of M virus = 5\,*\,10^{-7}\,m = 0.0000005\,\,m

Diameter of P virus = 2\,*\,10^{-8}\,m = 0.00000002\,\,m

Which clearly shows that virus M is larger than virus P in diameter

The quotient between diameters will give us the answer to how many times larger virus' M diameter is:

\frac{M}{P} =\frac{0.0000005}{0.00000002} \\\frac{M}{P} =25

NISA [10]

Answer:

Building is 56.58 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

An aerial photograph from a U-2 spy plane is taken of a building suspected of housing nuclear warheads.

When the photograph is taken, the angle of elevation of the sun is 30°.

By comparing the shadow cast by the building in question to the shadows of other objects of known size in the photograph, scientists determine that the shadow of the building in question is 98 feet long.

As we know: \tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}

The value of tan 30 degrees is \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

\tan30=\frac{h}{98}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h}{98}

h=\frac{98}{\sqrt{3}}

h=56.58

Hence, Building is 56.58 feet long.
