A tape dispenser holds 1.14 * 10 ^ 4 mm of tape that is 12.7 MM wide multiply the two numbers to find the total area in square millimeters of tape write the product and scientific notation

1 answer

To find the total area of the tape, we multiply its length by its width.

Length of tape (in mm) = 1.14 * 10^4 mm
Width of tape (in mm) = 12.7 mm

Total area of tape = Length * Width

Total area of tape = 1.14 * 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm

Total area of tape = 14.478 * 10^4 * mm^2

Written in scientific notation, the product is:
1.4478 * 10^5 mm^2
