To find the area of a Canadian football field, we need to add 3,350 to the area of an American football field.

Area of Canadian football field = Area of American football field + 3,350

Given: Area of American football field = 6.4 * 10^3 square yards

Area of Canadian football field = 6.4 * 10^3 + 3,350

To write this in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point one place to the left and adjust the exponent accordingly:

Area of Canadian football field = (6.4 + 0.335) * 10^3

Area of Canadian football field = 6.735 * 10^3

Therefore, the area of a Canadian football field in scientific notation to 2 decimal places is 6.74 * 10^3 square yards.
6.735 x 10^3 is wrong, 9.75 x 10^3 is accurate
