Answers

GPT 3.5
To find the total area in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length (1.14 x 10^4 mm) by the width (12.7 mm).

1.14 x 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm

To multiply these numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

1.14 * 12.7 = 14.478

Since we are working in millimeters, the area will be in square millimeters, so the product is 14.478 mm².

However, we need to express this product in scientific notation.

14.478 = 1.4478 x 10^1

Therefore, the total area of the tape in square millimeters is 1.4478 x 10^1 mm².
1.4478 x 10^4mm^2

14.478 x 10^5mm^2

1.4478 x 10^5mm^2

14.478 x 10^mm^2

Apologies for the mistake in the previous response. Let's calculate it correctly.

To find the total area in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length (1.14 x 10^4 mm) by the width (12.7 mm).

1.14 x 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm

To multiply these numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

1.14 * 12.7 = 14.478

The exponent of 10 is the sum of the exponents in each number: 4 + 0 = 4.

Therefore, the total area of the tape in square millimeters is 14.478 x 10^4 mm² in scientific notation.
