A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter (0.000001): ten thousand times shorter than a centimeter (0.01). How many micrometer one is one edge of a centimeter cube?

Verified Answer :

If a cube has an edge of one centimeter and one centimeter is ten thousand times longer than a micrometer, then the edge has ten thousand micrometers.

I hope that's what you meant :)

Answer:

       \(1cm^3=0.000000000001mm^3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  0.000001 mm = 0.01 cm

To find : How many \(mm^3\) is in \(1 cm^3\)

Solution :

Step 1 : Given  0.000001 mm = 0.01 cm

Step 2: Cubing both side \((0.000001mm)^3 = (0.01cm)^3\)

Step 3: Solve  \((10^{-6})^3mm^3=(10^{-2})^3cm^3\)

                    \(\Rightarrow\frac{(10^{-6})^3}{(10^{-2})^3}mm^3=1cm^3\)

                    \(\Rightarrow\frac{10^{-18}}{10^{-6}}mm^3=1cm^3\)

                    \(\Rightarrow 10^{-18+6}mm^3=1cm^3\)

                    \(\Rightarrow 10^{-12}mm^3=1cm^3\)

                     \(\Rightarrow 0.000000000001mm^3=1cm^3\)

 Therefore,  \(1cm^3=0.000000000001mm^3\)
