To find the total area in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length (1.14 x 10^4 mm) by the width (12.7 mm).
1.14 x 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm
To multiply these numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
1.14 * 12.7 = 14.478
Since we are working in millimeters, the area will be in square millimeters, so the product is 14.478 mm².
However, we need to express this product in scientific notation.
14.478 = 1.4478 x 10^1
Therefore, the total area of the tape in square millimeters is 1.4478 x 10^1 mm².

Apologies for the mistake in the previous response. Let's calculate it correctly.
To find the total area in square millimeters of tape, we need to multiply the length (1.14 x 10^4 mm) by the width (12.7 mm).
1.14 x 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm
To multiply these numbers in scientific notation, we multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
1.14 * 12.7 = 14.478
The exponent of 10 is the sum of the exponents in each number: 4 + 0 = 4.
Therefore, the total area of the tape in square millimeters is 14.478 x 10^4 mm² in scientific notation.
