Chapter 1: Q5PE (page 11)

Soccer fields vary in size. A large soccer field is 115 mlong and 85 mwide. What are its dimensions in feet and inches? (Assume that 1 meter equals 3.281 feets).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The dimension for length in feet is 377.2 ft and 278.8 ft respectively.

The dimension for width in inches is 4527.55 and 3346.45 inch -respectively.

The length of a figure, which is its longest dimension, indicates how long an item or figure is. Linear units such as meters, centimeters, inches and other measurements are used to convey it.

The shorter distance of an item or a figure is its width, which indicates how wide or broad the provided figure is.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Consider the given data as below.

Length of the soccer field, I = 115 m

Width of the soccer field, w = 85 m

02

Conversion of units

1meter=3.28foot1meter=39.37inch

03

Calculation of dimensions in feet

The length of the soccer field,-

I=115m×3.28ft1m=377.2ft

The width of the soccer field,-

w=85m×3.28ft1m=278.8ft

Hence, the dimension for length in feet is 377.2 ft and 278.8 ft respectively.

04

Calculation of dimensions in inches

The length of the soccer field,-

I=115m×39.37inch1m=4527.55inch

The width of the soccer field

w=85m×39.37inch1m=3346.45inch

Hence, the dimension for width in inches is 4527.55inchand 3346.45inch respectively.

Diffraction spreading for a flashlight is insignificant compared with other limitations in its optics, such as spherical aberrations in its mirror. To show this, calculate the minimum angular spreading of a flashlight beam that is originally \(5.00\,{\rm{cm}}\) in diameter with an average wavelength of \(600\,{\rm{nm}}\).
