Answer:

  • <em><u>3.30 × 10⁶ kg</u></em>

Explanation:

The form of the pool may be approximated to a reactangular prism with height equal to the average depth of water.

<u>1) Dimensions:</u>

  • Length: 44.6 m
  • Wide: 27.6 m
  • Height: 8.80 ft

<u>2) Volume formula</u>

  • V = length × width × height

<u>3) Unit conversions</u>

Convert 8.80 ft to meters:

  • 1 ft = 0.3048 m ⇒ 1 = 0.3048 m/ft

  • 8.80 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = 2.68 m

<u>4) Volume calculation</u>

Substitute the numbers in the formula:

  • V = length × width × height = 44.6 m × 27.6 m × 2.68 m ≈ 3,298.97 m³ ≈ 3,300 m³ (it is rounded to three significant digits)

<u>5) Mass of water:</u>

  • Density = mass / volume ⇒ mass = density × mass
  • Density of water = 1,000 kg / m³
  • mass = 3,300 m³ × 1,000 kg / m³ = 3,300,000 kg

<em><u>6) Scientific notation</u></em>

Choose the correct number of significant figures:

  • Since the three given factors have 3 significant figures, the correct number of significant figures of the volume and the mass is 3.

The mass must be expressed as a power of ten. The mantissa contains only the significant digits, and the number before the decimal point can only have one digit 1 through 9.

  • 3,300,000 kg =  3.30 × 10⁶ kg

Explain why the male angler fish is small and does not require a fully formed gut
Arturiano [62]

Answer:They are small because they don't need larger bodies to enable them attach to the females. They don't have fully formed gut because when they reach adulthood their digestive system stops functioning.

Explanation:they then find a female angler fish, attach by bitting into her flesh and fusing to her body. So whatever she eats they eat too.
