a tape dispenser holds 1.14x10^4 mm of tape that is 12.7 mm wide

1 answer

To further understand the dimensions of the tape and how much area it can cover, we can use the information provided.

  1. Length of Tape: The tape dispenser holds \(1.14 \times 10^4\) mm of tape, which is equivalent to 11,400 mm.

  2. Width of Tape: The tape has a width of 12.7 mm.

Area of the Tape

To find the total area of the tape, we can calculate it using the formula for the area of a rectangle (Area = Width × Length).

Calculation:

\[ \text{Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Area} = 12.7 , \text{mm} \times 11,400 , \text{mm} \]

\[ \text{Area} = 144,780 , \text{mm}^2 \]

Summary

  • The tape dispenser holds a total length of \(11,400\) mm of tape.
  • The width of the tape is \(12.7\) mm.
  • The total area of the tape is \(144,780 , \text{mm}^2\).
