UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN! ANSWER CORRECTLY AND CLEARLY. The active area of the processor found in some smartphones has the equivalent of about 2.0 billion transistors (the transistor is a semiconductor device that controls electronic processes). The dimensions of the integrated circuit chip are approximately 9.3 mm x 9.6 mm. What are the dimensions of one transistor on the integrated circuit, assuming all of the area is transistors, and each is a square?
