An American football field has an area of 6.4 x 10^3 square yards. A Canadian football field is 3,350 square yards larger. What is the area of a Canadian football field? Write your answer in scientific notation to 2 decimal places. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the area of a Canadian football field, we first need to add the area of the American football field (6.4 x 10^3 square yards) to the additional area (3,350 square yards).

First, we convert 3,350 square yards to scientific notation:

3,350 = 3.35 x 10^3 square yards.

Next, we add the two areas together:

\[ 6.4 x 10^3 + 3.35 x 10^3 = (6.4 + 3.35) x 10^3 = 9.75 x 10^3 \text{ square yards}. \]

Thus, the area of a Canadian football field is:

\[ \boxed{9.75 \times 10^3} \text{ square yards}. \]
