PLEASE PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP

The average human body cell is about 5.1 x 10 to the power of -4 cm in diameter. The diameter of a plant cell is 8 x 10 to the power of -3 cm.
What is the combined diameter of the body cell and plant cell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]8.51\times10^{-3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of body cell : [tex]5.1\times10^{-4}[/tex]

Diameter of plant cell : [tex]8\times10^{-3}[/tex]

So, combined diameter of body cell and plant cell :

[tex]5.1\times10^{-4}+8\times10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]10^{-3}(5.1\times10^{-1}+8)[/tex]

[tex]10^{-3}(0.51+8)[/tex]

[tex]10^{-3}(8.51)[/tex]

[tex]8.51\times10^{-3}[/tex]

Thus the combined diameter of of body cell and plant cell is [tex]8.51\times10^{-3}[/tex]
