An unidentified flying object has crashed in your yard! An alien emerges from the wreckage. The alien tells you that it has traveled here from the planet Geela which is 5.670x10^3 light years away. How many miles away is Geela? 1.06 x 10^-16 light years = 6.21 x 10^-4 miles

Respuesta :

Answer : Geela away is [tex]33.22\times 10^{15}\text{ miles}[/tex]

Explanation :

As we are given that the alien tells you that it has traveled here from the planet Geela which is 5.670 × 10³ light years away.

And we know that:

[tex]1.06\times 10^{-16}\text{ light years}=6.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ miles}[/tex]

Now we have to determine the distance away is Geela.

As, [tex]1.06\times 10^{-16}\text{ light years}=6.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ miles}[/tex]

So, [tex]5.670\times 10^{3}\text{ light years}=\frac{5.670\times 10^{3}\text{ light years}}{1.06\times 10^{-16}\text{ light years}}\times 6.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ miles}[/tex]

                                      = [tex]33.22\times 10^{15}\text{ miles}[/tex]

Therefore, the Geela away is [tex]33.22\times 10^{15}\text{ miles}[/tex]
