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

Highschool level trigonometry!!! Need help knowing step by step how to find answer!
Goshia [24]

Answer:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)

So, we want to find θ.

Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.

We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.

Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{2}{15}

Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:

\displaystyle \theta=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{15}\Big)

Use a calculator. Hence:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.

When 5 is added to a number n, the result is greater than 11. Which inequality can be used
Basile [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  n + 5 > 11

Step-by-step explanation:

When 5 is added to a number n, the expression representing that sum is ...

  5 + n

When that is greater than 11, the expression representing that comparison is ...

  5 + n > 11

6. The ABC Book Club charges a $40 monthly fee, plus $2 per book read in that month. The Easy Book Club charges a $35 monthly fe
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2<em>x </em>+ 40.  The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3<em>x</em> + 35.  To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (<em>x </em>= the number of books read)

2<em>x </em>+ 40 = 3<em>x</em> + 35

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2<em>x </em>+ 5 = 3x

Subtract 2<em>x </em>from both sides.

5 = <em>x</em>

So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.
