whats you question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the surface area of the sun is about 4 x 3.141 x (7 x 10 to the fifth power) to the second power square kilometers. Simplify the expression.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

do you known pedmas

OpenStudy (bohotness):

use pedmas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I vaguely recall it, parenthesis, exponent, multiplication division addition and subtraction right?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

yup that is PEMDAS

OpenStudy (bohotness):

yes

OpenStudy (lizz123):

So which one will you solve first

OpenStudy (bohotness):

remmber pedmas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so can I solve it and tag you in it to make sure it is right?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay yees

OpenStudy (bohotness):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so what I got was: 4 x 3.141 x (7x10 to the fifth power) to the second power 12.564 x 490000000000 which equaled 6156360000000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bohotness

OpenStudy (bohotness):

mhmm how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm i just used pemdas? do you think you can work it through with me please?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

sure

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so we would need to simplify 4 x 3.141 x (7x10 to the fifth power) to the second power . I thought i used pemdas correctly but apparently I did not. So can you show me how?
