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. (1 point)
O 14.478 × 10^(5) mm^(2)
O 14.478 x 10^(4) mm^(2)
O 1.4478 × 10^(5) mm^(2)
O 1.4478 × 10^(4) 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):
(1.14 × 10^(4) mm) * (12.7 mm) = 14.478 × 10^(4) mm^(2)
Therefore, the correct answer is:
O 14.478 × 10^(4) mm^(2)
