a. The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the poles is approximately 1.961 × 10⁸ mi²

The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the equator is approximately 1.974 × 10⁸ mi²

b. The surface area of the water on Earth using the diameter of the Earth measured from opposite points of the equator is approximately 1.480 × 10⁸ mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of the Earth measured from the North to the South pole, D_p = 7899.83 miles

The diameter of the Earth measured from (across) opposite points of the equator, D_e = 7926.41 miles

a. The surface area, A_E , of the Earth, taking the Earth as a perfect sphere, is given as follows;

A = 4 × π × r²

Where;

r = The radius of the sphere = 1/2 × the diameter of the sphere

For the diameter measured from poles, r_p = D_p /2 = (7899.83 miles)/2 = 3949.915 miles

The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the poles, $A_{Ep}$ = 4 × π × (3949.915 miles)² = 196058359.283 mi² ≈ 1.961 × 10⁸ mi²

For the diameter measured from equator, r_e = D_e /2 = (7926.41 miles)/2 = 3963.205 miles

The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the equator, $A_{Ee}$ = 4 × π × (3963.205 miles)² = 197379906.233 mi² ≈ 1.974 × 10⁸ mi²

b. The percentage of the surface area of the Earth covered by water ≈ 75%

The surface area of water on Earth using the diameter of the Earth = 7926.41 miles (the diameter measured from the equator), we have;

The area of the Earth with a diameter of 7926.41 miles was given as $A_{Ee}$ = 4 × π × ((7926.41 miles)/2)² = 197379906.233 mi²

The surface area of the water on Earth = 75% × The area of the Earth = 75/100 × 197379906.233 = 148034929.675 mi² ≈ 1.480 × 10⁸ mi²

Answer from: Quest

hence, the required result is $b-a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\end{array}\right]$

step-by-step explanation:

suppose we have two matrices a and b

we will assume the two matrices

$a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\4& 5& 6\\7& 8& 9\end{array}\right]$

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2& 3& 1\\5& 6& 4\\8& 9& 7\end{array}\right]$

we have to compute b-a which means subtracting corresponding elements of a from b.

$b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2& 3& 1\\5& 6& 4\\8& 9& 7\end{array}\right]$ - $a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 2& 3\\4& 5& 6\\7& 8& 9\end{array}\right]$

$b-a=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\\1& 1& -2\end{array}\right]$
