The area of a telescope lens is 6.439 × 103 mm2. (a) What is the area in square feet (ft2)? Enter your answer in scientific notation. (b) If it takes a technician 43.5 s to polish 1.53 × 102 mm2, how long does it take her to polish the entire lens?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) Area of the telescope lens is [tex]$1.076391014 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{ft}^{2}$[/tex]

b) Technician needs to clean the lens [tex]$1.83 \times 10^{3} s$[/tex].

Explanation:

a) The area of the lens is [tex]$6.439 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~mm}^{2}$[/tex]

To convert it into [tex]$f t^{2}$[/tex]

[tex]$1 \mathrm{~mm}=0.00328084 \mathrm{ft}$[/tex]

[tex]$1 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}=(0.00328084)^{2} \mathrm{ft}^{2}$[/tex]

[tex]$1 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}=1.076391014 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{ft}^{2}$[/tex]

So,

[tex]$6.439 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~mm}^{2}=6.439 \times 10^{3} * 1.076391014 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{ft}^{2} .$[/tex]

[tex]$6.439 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~mm}^{2}=6.93088174 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{ft}^{2}$[/tex]

b) Time required to polish a entire area of lens

[tex]$=6.439 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~mm}^{2} \times \frac{43.5 \mathrm{~s}}{1.53 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~mm}^{2}}$[/tex]

[tex]$=1.83 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~s}$[/tex]
