The average radius of Earth is typically accepted to be approximately 6371 km. Using this dimension, determine the surface area in km2 and the volume in km3. Give both answers in scientific notation to one decimal place.
A unit called the beard-second is the length the average beard grows in 1 second. A
beard-second is defined as 10 nanometers (10 nm).
The volume of the earth is approximately 259,875,159,532 cubic miles. What is this
volume expressed in cubic beard-seconds?
Some possibly useful conversions: 5280 feet = 1 mile, 1 quart = 0.946 liter, 2.54 cm =
1 inch, 1 week = 7 days, 12 inches = 1 foot.
