To convert the dimensions of the sticky note from meters to millimeters, we can use the fact that 1 meter equals 1,000 millimeters (or \(1 \text{ m} = 10^3 \text{ mm}\)).
Step 1: Convert the Width
The width of the sticky note is given in meters as: \[ 1.25 \times 10^{-8} \text{ meters} \]
To convert this to millimeters: \[ 1.25 \times 10^{-8} \text{ m} \times 10^3 \text{ mm/m} = 1.25 \times 10^{-8 + 3} \text{ mm} = 1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mm} \]
Step 2: Convert the Length
The length of the sticky note is given in meters as: \[ 2.5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ meters} \]
To convert this to millimeters: \[ 2.5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m} \times 10^3 \text{ mm/m} = 2.5 \times 10^{-6 + 3} \text{ mm} = 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mm} \]
Final Results
The dimensions of the sticky note in millimeters are:
- Width: \(1.25 \times 10^{-5} \text{ mm}\)
- Length: \(2.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ mm}\)
