Solar Impulse 2 is covered in 269.5 square meters of solar cells. Each cell is 150 square centimeters. How many solar cells are on the plane (Hint 1 square meter is equal to 10,pop aware cm)

Respuesta :

Area covered by the solar cells = 269.5 m^2

Area of one cell = 150 cm^2

Convert the area of one cell to m^2 by using the conversion factor 1m^2 = (100cm)^2 => 1 = 1m^2 / 1000 cm^2

=> 150 cm^2 * [1m^2 / 1000 cm^2] = 0.150 m^2

Now finf the number of times that 0.150 is contained in 269.5 by dividing 269.5 by 0.150

269.5 = 0.150 = 1,796.67

Which means that the number of cells is betwee 1796 and 1797.
