Answer: The diameter of the drawing of the planet= 10 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In a drawing of the solar system the scale is 1 mm = 500 km

which means [tex]1\ km=\frac{1}{500}mm[/tex] on the drawing.

The diameter of planet =5000 kilometers .

Then the diameter of the drawing of the planet= [tex]\frac{5000}{500}=10\ mm[/tex]

Therefore, the diameter of the drawing of the planet= 10 mm.
