The diameter is 0.000056 m

Explanation:

Lets explain the relation between the meter and the micrometer

1 Meter is equal to 1000000 (one million) micrometers

1 micrometer = $\frac{1}{1000000}=\frac{1}{10^{6}}=10^{-6}$

The symbol of the meter is m

The symbol of micrometer is μm

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter

We need to express this diameter in meter

To do that we divide this number by 1,000,000 or multiply it by $10^{-6}$

→ $\frac{56}{1000000}=0.000056$ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

→ OR

→ $56*10^{-6}=0.000056$

→ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

The diameter is 0.000056 m
