(b) What is the diameter of a human hair written in scientific notation?

• [Please make sure to include your units]

(c) In comparing the measurements in Parts (a) and (b), what else must be done before a comparison is made?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The average distance from the sun to the planet Venus is about 108,000,000 km. The diameter of a human hair is about 0.0025 mm.

(a) In scientifc notation, the distance from the Sun to Venus will be :

There are 8 numbers before 1. It means

d = 1.08 × 10⁸ km

(b) In scientific notation, the diameter of a human hair will be :

There are 3 numbers after decimal. It means

D = 2.5× 10⁻³ mm

(c) Before comparing two measurements, both values must be converted into the same units.

Since, 1 mm = 10⁻⁶ km

D = 2.5× 10⁻³ × 10⁻⁶ km

= 2.5 × 10⁻⁹ km

For comparison divide the distance from the Sun to Venus and the diameter of a human hair.

Hence, this is the required solution.

{3 + i, 3 - i, 3, -1}

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
