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

Given any two arcs, the larger of the arcs is always called a minor arcTrueFalse
GrogVix [38]

When we have two arcs in a circle, one larger and one smaller, one will be called the minor arc and the other the minor arc.

The name of the arc depends on its size, for example, given the following green and yellow arcs, the green, which is smaller, will be the minor arc:

Therefore, the larger arc is always called Major arc, not minor arc.

The statement is False.

Answer: False
