A rectangle has length 9.3 x 102 cm and width 8.4 x 102 cm. What is the area of the rectangle? A) 1.77 x 103 B) 1.77 x 105 C) 1.77 x 104 D) 7.812 x 105

OpenStudy (jurynee):

the 2 is exponents

Mehek (mehek14):

Multiply 9.3 * 8.4 = ?

OpenStudy (jurynee):

thank you

Mehek (mehek14):

Let me know what you get :) and then I'll move to the next step

OpenStudy (jurynee):

78.12

Mehek (mehek14):

Ok and add the exponents, 2 + 2

OpenStudy (jurynee):

4

Mehek (mehek14):

Ok so \(78.12*10^4\) we need to move the decimal one place so it's 7.812 and that increases the exponent by one \(7.812*10^5\)

OpenStudy (jurynee):

oh thank you so much

Mehek (mehek14):

You're welcome :)
