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 in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length and the width of the tape.

Length of tape = 1.14 x 10^4 mm
Width of tape = 12.7 mm

Total area = (1.14 x 10^4 mm) * (12.7 mm)
Total area = 1.448 x 10^5 mm^2

Therefore, the total area of the tape is 1.448 x 10^5 mm^2.
