step-by-step explanation:

the answer is $4.45. i started by figuring out the cost of the plates and napkins. the easiest way to figure this cost out is through the tax. we know the way they found the tax is by multiplying the cost of non-food items by the tax rate (5% or 0.5). so, all we have to do to find the cost before tax is set up an equation and work this formula backwards. the equation is 0.19=0.05x where x is the cost of the plates and napkins. now all you do is divide both sides by 0.05 to come up with 3.8=x. now that we know the cost of the plates and napkins is $3.80, all we have to do is subtract this cost from the total cost of $8.25 giving us the cost of the watermelon which is $4.45.

the cross section of an object is the shape you get when you cut straight through an object.

thus the cross section of the human hair is a circle. hence the cross sectional area is the area of a circle and area of circle is :

a = 3.14 × r²

we are given that the average width of human hair is = 4 × (1 / 10³) cm.

so the diameter of the circle is = 4 × (1 / 10³) cm.

∴ radius r = (diameter/2) = 2 × (1/10³) cm

now area a = 3.14 × (2 × (1/10³))² cm²

scientific notation is a standard way of writing very large and very small numbers so that they’re easier to both compare and use in computations. to write in scientific notation, follow the form

n × 10 ᵃ

where n is a number between 1 and 10, but not 10 itself, and a is an integer (positive or negative number).

so area can be rewritten in scientific notation as :

⇒ 3.14 × 4 × (1/10⁶)

⇒ 12.56 × 10 ⁻⁶ cm²

⇒1.256 × 10⁻⁷ cm²
