(a)
Interpretation:
The term SI base units need to be defined.
Concept introduction:
The term is defined as a phrase or word to explain a concept or thing. For example: for the description “anything that occupies space and have mass” is termed as matter.
Symbol is a character used to represent a function, object or process. For example: the SI unit of mass is kilograms and its symbol is kg.
(b)
Interpretation:
The term significant figures needs to be defined.

- Although the preferred SI unit of area is the square meter, land is often measured in the metric system in hectares (ha). One hectare is equal to 10,000 m2. In the English system, land is often measured in acres (1 acre = 160 rod2). Use the exact conversions and those given in Exercise 47 to calculate the following. a. 1 ha = __________ km2 b. The area of a 5.5-acre plot of land in hectares, square meters, and square kilometers c. A lot with dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft is to be sold for 6500. What is the price per acre? What is the price per hectare?arrow_forwardThe label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3.
