The problem presented above is an example in which we can use the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio between the heights of Mei and the statue should be the same to the ratio of their shadows. Letting x be the height of the statue. 
                                  5 ft/ x ft = 3 ft / 10.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 17.5 ft.

If there are 10 billion transistors (each of a square shape) uniformly (without space) distributed on a silicon chip with the sq
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

the transistors have L=1 mm of linear size

Step-by-step explanation:

For the silicon chip the area is A=1 cm² and for the transistors the area is At=L² (L=linear size) . Then since N= 10 billion transistors of area At should fit in the area A

A=N*At

A=N*L²

solving for L

L= √(A/N)

Assuming that 1 billion=10⁹ (short scale version of billion), then

L= √(A/N) = √(1 cm²/10⁹) = 1 cm / 10³ = 1 mm

then the transistors have L=1 mm of linear size
