Answer:

A. 1.15 x 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following;

Diameter of the sun ds = 1,391,000 kilometers

Diameter of the Venus dv = 12,100kilometers

Taking the ratio of both diameters;

Ratio = Diameter of sun/Diameter of Venus

Ratio = 1,391,000/12,100

Ratio = 13910/121

Ratio = 114.958

Hence ds/dv = 114.958

ds/dv = 1.149 *10^2

ds/dv = 1.15*10^2

ds = 1.15*10^2 dv

Hence the diameter of the sun is 1.15*10^2 larger than that of the venus.
