Kendra finds the dimensions of a sticky note. She uses a meter stick to determine that the dimensions are 1.25 * 10 ^ - 8 meters wide by 2.5 * 10 ^ - 6 meters long Use scientific notation to write the dimensions in millimeters

1 answer

To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we need to multiply them by 1000 since there are 1000 millimeters in a meter.

Width: 1.25 * 10^-8 meters * 1000 = 1.25 * 10^-5 millimeters
Length: 2.5 * 10^-6 meters * 1000 = 2.5 * 10^-3 millimeters

Therefore, the dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are 1.25 * 10^-5 mm wide and 2.5 * 10^-3 mm long.
