The smallest known galaxy, Segue 2, has an approximate radius of 1.05 × 1015 kilometers. Use the conversion factors 1 light-year = 9.5 × 1012 kilometers and 1 parsec = 3.262 light-years to convert this distance from kilometers to parsecs. Choose the closest answer.

( 1.05 x 10¹⁵ km ) x ( 1 LY / 9.5 x 10¹² km ) x ( 1 psc / 3.262 LY ) =

(1.05) / (9.5 x 3.262) x (km · LY · psc) / (km · LY) x (10¹⁵⁻¹²) =

(0.03388) x (psc) x (10³) =

33.88 parsecs
