Question

kendra finds the dimensions of a sticky note she uses a meter stick to determine the dimensions 1.25 X 10^-8 meters wide by 2.5 X 10^-6 meters long

Answer 1

Kendra measures the dimensions of her sticky note as follows:

- **Width:** \(1.25 \times 10^{-8}\) meters
- **Length:** \(2.5 \times 10^{-6}\) meters

To understand the size of the sticky note, let's convert these measurements into more familiar units, such as millimeters (mm):

1 meter equals \(1000\) millimeters, so:

1. For the width:
\[
1.25 \times 10^{-8} \text{ meters} \times 1000 \text{ mm/meter} = 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mm}
\]

2. For the length:
\[
2.5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ meters} \times 1000 \text{ mm/meter} = 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mm}
\]

So, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are:

- **Width:** \(1.25 \times 10^{-5}\) mm (0.0000125 mm)
- **Length:** \(2.5 \times 10^{-3}\) mm (0.0025 mm)

These dimensions indicate that the sticky note is extraordinarily small, much smaller than even typical sticky notes used for reminders. Is there anything else you would like to do with these measurements?
