To convert the dimensions of the sticky note from meters to millimeters, we use the conversion factor that 1 meter equals 1000 millimeters (or \(10^3\) millimeters).
1. For the width:
- The width is given as \(1.25 \times 10^{-8}\) meters.
- To convert to millimeters, we multiply by \(10^3\):
\[ \text{Width in mm} = 1.25 \times 10^{-8} \text{ m} \times 10^3 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{m}} = 1.25 \times 10^{-8 + 3} \text{ mm} = 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mm} \]
2. For the length:
- The length is given as \(2.5 \times 10^{-6}\) meters.
- To convert to millimeters, we multiply by \(10^3\):
\[ \text{Length in mm} = 2.5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m} \times 10^3 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{m}} = 2.5 \times 10^{-6 + 3} \text{ mm} = 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mm} \]
Final dimensions in millimeters:
- Width: \(1.25 \times 10^{-5}\) mm
- Length: \(2.5 \times 10^{-3}\) mm
Thus, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are:
- Width: \(1.25 \times 10^{-5}\) mm
- Length: \(2.5 \times 10^{-3}\) mm
