Mars Pluto
Average Distance from Sun
(Miles)
1.42 x 108
3.67 x 109
The average distance from Earth to the sun is defined as 1 astronomical unit.
What is the distance, in astronomical units, from Mars to Pluto? Round your answer
to the nearest tenth.

Given parameters:

Table of values

Planets                       Average distance from Sun(miles)

Mars                                                 1.42 x 10⁸

Pluto                                                 3.67 x 10⁹

The average distance from Earth to Sun is 93.08 x 10⁶ miles

   So:

            1 Astronomical unit = 93.08 x 10⁶ miles

Unknown;

Distance in Astronomical unit of Mars and Pluto.

                 Since :

                 93.08 x 10⁶ miles   =  1 Au

For Mars;

                 1.42 x 10⁸ miles  =  

                                             = 0.015 x 10²AU

                                             = 1.5AU

For Pluto:

                93.08 x 10⁶ miles   =  1 Au

                 3.67 x 10⁹ miles  =

                                              = 0.039428 x 10³AU

                                              = 39.428AU

               To the nearest tenth = 39.4AU

So the distance of Mars in AU is 1.5AU and Pluto is 39.4AU

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
