Note: 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
what is the answer

Answer 1

To convert the height in meters to centimeters, we need to multiply by 100 because there are 100 centimeters in one meter.

So, the height in centimeters would be:

2.307 x 10^8 meters * 100 cm/meter

= 2.307 x 10^8 * 100 cm

= 2.307 x 10^10 cm

Therefore, the height in centimeters, expressed in scientific notation to the exact decimal place, is 2.307 x 10^10 cm.
