The Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida has a volume of 3,666,500 m*. Convert this volume to liters and express the result in standard exponential notatio

Question

Express the volume in liters to five significant digits.

Answer 1

To convert cubic meters to liters, you can use the conversion factor that 1 cubic meter (m³) is equal to 1,000 liters.

Given the volume of the Vehicle Assembly Building is 3,666,500 m³:

\[ 3,666,500 , \text{m}^3 \times 1,000 , \frac{\text{liters}}{\text{m}^3} = 3,666,500,000 , \text{liters} \]

Now, expressing this number in standard exponential notation, we have:

\[ 3,666,500,000 = 3.6665 \times 10^{9} , \text{liters} \]

Thus, the volume in liters, expressed in standard exponential notation with five significant digits, is:

\[ \boxed{3.6665 \times 10^{9}} , \text{liters} \]
