To find the body length of the insect under the microscope, we need to multiply the actual body length of the insect by the scale factor of the enlargement.
Actual body length of the insect = 10 millimeters
Scale factor of the enlargement = 20
Body length of the insect under the microscope = Actual body length of the insect x Scale factor of the enlargement
= 10 millimeters x 20
= 200 millimeters
Therefore, the body length of the insect under the microscope is 200 millimeters.
To find the body length of the insect under the microscope, you need to multiply the actual length of the insect by the scale factor of the microscope.
The actual length of the insect is given as 10 millimeters and the scale factor is 20.
Therefore, the body length of the insect under the microscope is:
10 millimeters × 20 = 200 millimeters.
So, the correct answer is: 200 millimeters.
