A tape dispenser holds 1.14×10^4 mm of tape that is 12.7 mm wide. Multiply the two numbers to find the total area in square millimeters of tape. Write the product in scientific notation.
To find the total area of the tape in square millimeters, we multiply the length (1.14×10^4 mm) by the width (12.7 mm).
(1.14×10^4 mm) × (12.7 mm) = 1.45×10^5 mm^2
So the total area of the tape in square millimeters is 1.45×10^5 mm^2.
To find the total area in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length of the tape (1.14×10^4 mm) by the width of the tape (12.7 mm).
Multiplying these two values, we get:
(1.14×10^4 mm) * (12.7 mm) = 1.4498×10^5 mm^2
Therefore, the product in scientific notation is 1.4498×10^5 mm^2.
To find the total area in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length of the tape by its width.
The length of the tape is 1.14×10^4 mm, and its width is 12.7 mm.
To multiply these two numbers, we can use the laws of exponents in scientific notation. When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients (the numbers before the power of 10) and add the exponents.
So, the calculation becomes:
(1.14 × 10^4) × (12.7 × 10^0)
Multiplying the coefficients gives us (1.14 × 12.7) = 14.478
Adding the exponents gives us 10^4 × 10^0 = 10^(4+0) = 10^4
Therefore, the total area is 14.478 × 10^4 square millimeters.
In scientific notation, this can be written as 1.4478 × 10^5 square millimeters.
