The table contains the planets in our solar system in order of their average distance from the Sun and their corresponding diameters. The first step in creating a model of the solar system is to scale these large diameters into smaller, more manageable numbers. Eventually, we’ll represent these numbers using circles drawn on paper. MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune Diameter (km)487912,10412,7566792142,984120,53651,11849,528 Scaled Diameter (cm) 3.51.9 The ratio between Earth’s actual diameter and its scaled diameter can be used to find the scaled diameter of the other planets. Earth’s diameter of 12,756 kilometers is scaled to 3.5 centimeters as shown in the table. Now let’s find the scaled diameter of Mars as an example. Using the calculations shown, Mars’s diameter of 6,792 would be scaled to 1.9 centimeters. d × 12,756 = 6,792 × 3.5 d = 1.9 cm Use this same process to complete the table with the scaled diameters of the other planets. Round each answer to the tenths place. If you need additional math help, visit the Proportions section of the Math Review.

Answer:

HI! Since I haven't had this graded yet, I'm not entirely sure that this is 100% correct, though it should be pretty close.

Explanation:

The first image is all of the diameters that I have converted. The highlighted ones are the originally given.

Math is not my strongest point so the formula provided was pointless. Instead, I used this link -v

The second image is a screenshot of the link. The first fraction is the given conversion: earth's diameter over the scaled diameter. For the second fraction, you enter the diameter of the planet of choice as the numerator and "x" as your denominator. Click "calculate" and it will solve for "x".

For reference, enter the diameter of mars and you get the scaled diameter provided in the graph.

Hope this helps!

The scaled diameters of the missing planets are listed below:

Mercury                      1.4 cm

Venus                        3.3 cm

Mars                           1.9 cm

Jupiter                     39.2 cm

Saturn                      33.1 cm

Uranus                     14.0 cm

Neptune                  13.6 cm

How to determine the scaled diameters of a planet

In this question we must use conversion factor to calculate the scaled diameters by means of the following direct relationship:

d = k · D     (1)

Where:

  • D - Real diameter, in kilometers.
  • d - Scaled diameter, in centimeters.
  • k - Conversion factor, in centimeters per kilometer.

The conversion factor is found by using the real and scaled diameter of the Earth:

k = 3.5 cm/12,756 km

k = 7/25512 cm/km

Then, we determine the scaled diameters of the rest of planets:

Mercury                      1.4 cm

Venus                        3.3 cm

Mars                           1.9 cm

Jupiter                     39.2 cm

Saturn                      33.1 cm

Uranus                     14.0 cm

Neptune                  13.6 cm

Remark

The statement reports a table with numerous mistakes, the correct table is shown below:

Planet               Diameter (km)             Scaled Diameter (cm)

Mercury                  4,879

Venus                    12,104

Earth                      12,756                                    3.5

Mars                        6,792                                    

Jupiter                 142,984

Saturn                120,536

Uranus                    51,118

Neptune               49,528
