A set of four stars form the shape of a rectangle in space. The length of the rectangle is approximately 48,600,000 miles, while the width of the rectangle is approximately 65,199,999.99999999 miles. What is the approximate area of the rectangle?

1 answer

To find the area of a rectangle, you simply multiply its length by its width. In this case:

Area = Length x Width
Area = 48,600,000 miles x 65,199,999.99999999 miles
Area ≈ 3.169680000032e15 square miles

Therefore, the approximate area of the rectangle formed by the four stars in space is approximately 3.169680000032 x 10^15 square miles.
