To find the total area of the tape, we need to multiply the length of the tape by the width.
Length of tape = 1.14 * 10^4 mm
Width of tape = 12.7 mm
Total area = Length * Width
Total area = 1.14 * 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm
To multiply these numbers, we simply multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of 10:
Total area = (1.14 * 12.7) * 10^(4+0)
Total area = 14.478 * 10^4
Since the result is less than 100, we can express it in scientific notation as:
Total area = 1.4478 * 10^5 square millimeters
Length of tape = 1.14 * 10^4 mm
Width of tape = 12.7 mm
Total area = Length * Width
Total area = 1.14 * 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm
To multiply these numbers, we simply multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of 10:
Total area = (1.14 * 12.7) * 10^(4+0)
Total area = 14.478 * 10^4
Since the result is less than 100, we can express it in scientific notation as:
Total area = 1.4478 * 10^5 square millimeters
