A rectangular section of wilderness will be set aside as a new wildlife refuge. Its dimensions are 5 x 105meters by 4 x104 meters. Find the area of the land in square meters. Make sure your answer is in correct scientific notation form

area is length * width, so

5x10^5 * 4x10^4
multiplication is commutative, so that's
5*4 * 10^5*10^4
= 20 * 10^9
= 2*10^10 m^2

if the powers stuff is confusing, it's just shorthand for multiplication
10^5*10^4 = (10*10*10*10*10)*(10*10*10*10) = 10^9
just as multiplication is shorthand for addition
5*4 = 5+5+5+5

yes it is right Darly

sorry spelled your name wrong daryl

Will someone pls tell me if it’s right

Cause if you are reading this in May 1 2020 than tell me.

To find the area of the rectangular section, we need to multiply its length by its width. Let's calculate it step by step:

1. Find the length:
The length of the rectangular section is 5 x 10^5 meters.

2. Find the width:
The width of the rectangular section is 4 x 10^4 meters.

3. Multiply the length by the width:
(5 x 10^5) x (4 x 10^4)

To multiply 5 x 10^5 by 4 x 10^4, we multiply the numbers together and add their exponents:
(5 x 4) x (10^5 x 10^4)
= 20 x 10^9

The area of the rectangular section is 20 x 10^9 square meters.

In scientific notation, we express the number 20 as 2.0 (since the decimal point is moved one place to the left), so the final answer in scientific notation form is:
2.0 x 10^10 square meters.

what is it

ill tell you if its right when they grade my thing .
