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 in scientific notation.

Answer 1

To find the total area of the tape in square millimeters, we multiply the length (1.14×10^4 mm) by the width (12.7 mm).

(1.14×10^4 mm) × (12.7 mm) = 1.45×10^5 mm^2

So the total area of the tape in square millimeters is 1.45×10^5 mm^2.
