a student measures the thickness of human hair by looking at its through a microscope magnification 100.he make 20 observations and finds that the average with the hair in the field of view of the microscope is 3.5 mm what is the estimate of the thickness of the hair?
Answers
Answer:
Magnification of microscope = 100
Observed width of the hair = 3.5 mm
Estimate on the thickness of hair is given by
Magnification =Observed width / Real width or
Real width = Observed width / Magnification = 3.5 /100
= 0.035 mm

Answer:
n geometry, a triangular prism is a three-sided prism; it is a polyhedron made of a triangular base, a translated copy, and 3 faces joining corresponding sides. A right triangular prism has rectangular sides, otherwise it is oblique. A uniform triangular prism is a right triangular prism with equilateral bases, and square sides.
Equivalently, it is a polyhedron of which two faces are parallel, while the surface normals of the other three are in the same plane (which is not necessarily parallel to the base planes). These three faces are parallelograms. All cross-sections parallel to the base faces are the same triangle.

As a semiregular (or uniform) polyhedron
A right triangular prism is semiregular or, more generally, a uniform polyhedron if the base faces are equilateral triangles, and the other three faces are squares. It can be seen as a truncated trigonal hosohedron, represented by Schläfli symbol t{2,3}. Alternately it can be seen as the Cartesian product of a triangle and a line segment, and represented by the product {3}x{}. The dual of a triangular hi prism is a triangular bipyramid.
The symmetry group of a right 3-sided prism with triangular base is D3h of order 12. The rotation group is D3 of order 6. The symmetry group does not contain inversion.
Volume
The volume of any prism is the product of the area of the base and the distance between the two bases. In this case the base is a triangle so we simply need to compute the area of the triangle and multiply this by the length of the prism:
{\displaystyle V={\frac {1}{2}}bhl,} {\displaystyle V={\frac {1}{2}}bhl,}
where b is the length of one side of the triangle, h is the length of an altitude drawn to that side, and l is the distance between the triangular faces.
Truncated triangular prism
A truncated right triangular prism has one triangular face truncated (planed) at an oblique angle.[1]

Facetings
There are two full D2h symmetry facetings of a triangular prism, both with 6 isosceles triangle faces, one keeping the original top and bottom triangles, and one the original squares. Two lower C3v symmetry faceting have one base triangle, 3 lateral crossed square faces, and 3 isosceles triangle lateral faces.
