A skyscraper has a mass of 2.2x10^5 tons another skyscraper in the same town has a mass of 3.7 x10^5 what is the combined mass in tons of the two skyscrapers

Answer 1

To find the combined mass of the two skyscrapers, you simply add their masses together.

The first skyscraper has a mass of \( 2.2 \times 10^5 \) tons, and the second skyscraper has a mass of \( 3.7 \times 10^5 \) tons.

\[ \text{Combined mass} = (2.2 \times 10^5) + (3.7 \times 10^5) \]

To add these, you can combine the coefficients:

\[ = (2.2 + 3.7) \times 10^5 \] \[ = 5.9 \times 10^5 \text{ tons} \]

So, the combined mass of the two skyscrapers is \( 5.9 \times 10^5 \) tons.
