Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert km to meters

143000 km = 143,000,000m = 1.43*10^8 m

Now convert 10 billion to scientific notation1  00

10 billion = 1 * 10^10

What this means is that 1 * 10^10 meters in outer space = 1 meter for the scale model.

Now show what the ratio is for

1.43*10^8

========          Divide by the denominator

1 * 10^10

1.43 * 10^(8 - 10)

1.43 * 10 ^ - 2               meters

Answer: 0.0143m or B

A man 6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 11 feet long. A building casts a shadow of 139 feet long. The building is tall. Round y
dmitriy555 [2]

Given:

Height of man = 6 ft

Height of man's shadow = 11 feet

Height of building's shadow = 139 feet

To find:

The height of the building.

Solution:

We know that the heights of the objects and there shadows are always proportional.

\dfrac{\text{Height of man}}{\text{Height of man's shadow}}=\dfrac{\text{Height of the building}}{\text{Height of building's shadow}}

Let x be the height of the building.

\dfrac{6}{11}=\dfrac{x}{139}

Multiply both sides by 139.

\dfrac{6}{11}\times 139=x

\dfrac{834}{11}=x

75.8181...=x

x\approx 75.8

Therefore, the building is 75.8 feet long.
