The DNA molecule has the shape of a double helix (see the figure below). The radius of each helix is about 10 angstroms (1 Å = 10−8 cm). Each helix rises about 34 Å during each complete turn, and there are about 2.9 × 108 complete turns. Estimate the length of each helix. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ____ × 1010 Å
