volume of a sphere=90.0 x 10^-12cm^3 =4/3πr^3
Solve for r
r={[(90.0 x 10^-12cm^3)*(3/4)]/π}^1/3
The units that you will get will be in cm, so multiply your answer by 10^-1 to get mm.
The volume of a red blood cell is about
90.0*10^-12cm^3
Assuming that the red blood cells are spherical, what is the diameter of a red blood cell in millimeters?

V sphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3
90E-12 = (4/3)*pi*r^3
r^3 = ?
r = ?
diameter = 2*r = ? in cm
Convert to mm.
90E-12 = (4/3)*pi*r^3
r^3 = ?
r = ?
diameter = 2*r = ? in cm
Convert to mm.
Devron, I believe you multiply cm x 10 to convert to mm.
Typo, 10^1, which is 10.
I apologize. Thank you for catching that for me, and multiply r by 2 afterwards to get the diameter.

When I converted with Devron method I got
27.8*10^-6mm
When I did it Bob's way I got 27.8*10^-5
is this correct?
27.8*10^-6mm
When I did it Bob's way I got 27.8*10^-5
is this correct?
After I multiplied by 2 I got a final answer of 0.000556mm

The methods that I and Dr. Bob222 both showed you are the same. I calculated 5.56 x10-3 mm, but double check my calculations.
