1. Various geometric formulas are given in Appendix E.

2. The conversion factors are: 1 gry  1/10 line , 1 line  1/12 inch and 1
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b 8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8



point = 1/72inch. The factors imply that
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8




1 gry = (1/10)(1/12)(72 points) = 0.60 point.
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8




Thus, 1 gry2 = (0.60 point)2 = 0.36 point2, which means that 0.50
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b 8 gry 2 = b8 b 8 0.18 b 8 point 2 .

3. The metric prefixes (micro, pico, nano, …) are given for ready reference on

the insidefront cover of the textbook (see also Table 1–2).

(a) Since 1 km = 1  103 m and 1 m = 1  106 m,
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8

The given measurement is 1.0 km (two significant figures),
b 8 b 8 b 8 b 8 b 8 b 8 b 8 b 8 b 8 which
implies our resultshould be written as 1.0  109 m.
b 8 b 8 b 8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8




(b) We calculate the number of microns in 1 centimeter. Since 1 cm = 102 m,
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8




1cm = 102 m = b 8 b8 b8 b8 b 8 102m106 b8  m b8 m.
b 8 m  104 b8 b8




We conclude that the fraction of one centimeter equal to 1.0 m is 1.0 

6. We make use of Table 1-6.
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8




(a) We look at the first (―cahiz‖) column: 1 fanega is equivalent to what amount of
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8


cahiz? We note from the already completed part of the table that 1 cahiz equals a
b8 8
b b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8


dozen fanega. Thus,
b8
12
1 fanega = 1 cahiz, or 8.33  102 cahiz. Similarly, ―1
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b 8 b 8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b 8 b8


cahiz = 48 cuartilla‖ (in the
b8 b8 b8 b8 b8 b8




already completed part) implies that 1 cuartilla =
