To express the height of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is 19,340 feet, in scientific notation, we need to write it in the form \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.
19,340 can be rewritten as 1.9340 x 10^4.
Here’s how it breaks down:
- Move the decimal point 4 places to the left to get 1.934, establishing that \( n = 4 \).
Thus, the correct scientific notation for the height of Mount Kilimanjaro is 1.934 x 10^4.
The other options are not correctly represented in standard scientific notation, so the answer is:
1.934 x 10^4.
