medium📝 Analysis Q4 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Convert object height to millimeters
10 cm equals 100 mm (10 x 10).Step 2: Calculate number of layers
Divide total height by layer height: 100 mm / 0.25 mm = 400 layers.Final Answer:
400 layers -> Option CQuick Check:
Layers = Height / Layer height = 400 [OK]
Quick Trick: Divide height by layer thickness for layers count [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Not converting cm to mm
- Multiplying instead of dividing
- Misreading layer height units
