Chapter 5.1, Problem 4RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The length of bug in millimeter needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Length is used to measure the distance between the points or the how much long is the given object.

It is used to identify or measure the exact size of the object.

The unit of length is meter, millimeter, centimeter, etc.

Answer to Problem 4RQ

Length in millimeter $\text{=35}\text{mm}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Centimeters and millimeters are the smallest unit of length. They are used to measure the smaller object size. Centimeter is written as cm and millimeter is written as mm.

Given value is $\text{3}\text{.5}\text{cm}$

Here $\text{1cm}\text{=}\text{10mm}$ is known

Then for $\text{3}\text{.5}\text{cm}$

Calculation for millimeter

  $\text{1cm}\text{=}\text{10mm}$

  $\text{3}\text{.5}\text{cm}\text{=}\text{3}\text{.5×10}\text{mm}$

  $\text{=35}\text{mm}$

Conclusion

The length of bug in millimeter is $\text{=35}\text{mm}$ .
