To convert the dimensions from meters to millimeters, we multiply the given dimensions (in meters) by 1,000 (since 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters).

However, the specific values are missing in your prompt. Let's assume Kendra's sticky note dimensions are 1.25 meters wide and 2.5 meters long for demonstration.

  1. Convert width from meters to millimeters: \[ 1.25 \text{ meters} \times 1000 = 1250 \text{ millimeters} \]

    In scientific notation, this is: \[ 1250 = 1.25 \times 10^3 \text{ mm} \]

  2. Convert length from meters to millimeters: \[ 2.5 \text{ meters} \times 1000 = 2500 \text{ millimeters} \]

    In scientific notation, this is: \[ 2500 = 2.5 \times 10^3 \text{ mm} \]

So, the dimensions in millimeters would be: \[ 1.25 \times 10^3 \text{ mm} \text{ by } 2.5 \times 10^3 \text{ mm} \]


Now, looking at the answer options you provided, none of them match our calculated scientific notation directly because the dimensions seem very small based on those options.

If you had different values for the dimensions, substitute them into the conversion process above to calculate their scientific notation equivalents. If you provide the actual width and length in meters, I can calculate it precisely for you.
