If a cell measures 10 mm when magnified by 100, what is the cell's actual size?
The cell's actual size is 0.1 mm.
To determine the actual size of the cell, we need to use the magnification formula and solve for the actual size of the object.
The formula for magnification is:
Magnification = Size of Image / Size of Object
Given that the cell measures 10 mm when magnified by 100, we can substitute these values into the formula:
100 = Size of Image / 10 mm
To find the size of the image, we multiply both sides of the equation by 10 mm:
100 * 10 mm = Size of Image
The size of the image is 1000 mm.
Therefore, the actual size of the cell is 1000 mm.
To find the cell's actual size, we can use the formula:
Actual Size = Magnified Size / Magnification
Given that the cell measures 10 mm when magnified by 100, we have:
Magnified Size = 10 mm
Magnification = 100
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Actual Size = 10 mm / 100
Actual Size = 0.1 mm
Therefore, the cell's actual size is 0.1 mm.
