1 Biologists study characteristics of various living things. One way of comparing
different animals are to compare their sizes. For example, a mammal's surface area S
(in square centimeters) can be approximated by the model S = km⅔ where m is the
mass (in grams) of the mammal and k is a constant. The values of k for several
mammals are given in the table.
Mammal
k
Mouse
9.0
Cat
10.0
Large dog
12.2
Cow
9.0
Rabbit
9.75
Human
11.0
Approximate the surface area of a cat that has a mass of 5 kilograms
(5 x 10³ grams). What is cat's approximate surface area in square centimeters?​​

Answer:

2,924cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

I take it you mean S is to be measured in cm²

(square centimeters)

5kg= 5,000g so m=5,000

  • S=10 *5,000(⅔)=approx. 2,924 cm²
