a rectangular section of wilderness will be set aside as a new wildlife refuge. its dimensions are 6*10^3 meters by 3*10^4 meters find the area of the land in square meters put answer in scientific notation.

Question

a. 90*10^8
b. 18*10^7
c. 1.8*10^8
d. 9.0*10^9

Answer 1

To find the area of the land in square meters, we need to multiply the length by the width.

The length is given as 6 * 10^3 meters, and the width is given as 3 * 10^4 meters.

Multiplying these values together, we get (6 * 10^3) * (3 * 10^4) = 18 * 10^7 meters^2.

Therefore, the area of the land in square meters is 18 * 10^7 meters^2, which is answer (b) in scientific notation.
