Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given diameter value should be converted into centimetre.
Concept Introduction:
Diameter: It is measured across the circle passing through the centre.
Unit conversion: This concept of conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value. The unity bracket method of unit conversion consists of a fraction in which the denominator is equal to the numerator, but they are in different units.
Centimetre into meter: A centimetre (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), the current form of the metric system. It is defined as 1/100 meters.
Centimetre into kilometre: Kilometres and meters are both units used to measure length.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount RBC required making a line that is 1 cm long and 1 in long should be calculated.
