Question

A microscope dilates the image of an organism 4 times its original dimensions. If the radius of a circular organism seen by the microscope is 8 cm, find the radius of the actual organism. Question 17 options: A) 4 cm B) 8 cm C) 2 cm D) 32 cm

Answer 1

32cm

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 2cm

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a microscope dilates the image of an organism 4 times its original dimensions and that the radius of a circular organism has seen by a microscope is 8 cm.

Since the microscope makes the objects 4 times bigger, then the original radius will be:

= 8cm/4

= 2cm

The radius of the actual organism is 2cm.
