Online "^" is used to indicate an exponent, e.g., x^2 = x squared.
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.

Area = length * width

7.7682*10^4 = Length * 2.42*10^2

(7.7682*10^4)/(2.42*10^2) = Length

When multiplying/dividing, add/subtract exponents respectively.

Solve for length.

Without doing all of the division, definitely it is 10^2.
The correct answer is 3.21 x 10^2. I just finished the test
