To express \( 6.452 \times 10^2 \) in standard form, you need to write it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
The number \( 6.452 \) is already between 1 and 10, so it is already in standard form.
Thus, \( 6.452 \times 10^2 \) can be expressed directly as:
Standard form: \( 6.452 \times 10^2 \)
If you want to write it as an equivalent decimal number, it would be \( 645.2 \) (since \( 10^2 = 100 \)). However, this is not the standard form itself.
In conclusion, the original expression is in standard form.
