A NASA satellite showed that in 2003 the ozone hole was much larger than it was in 2002. The 2003 hole measured 1.04 x ¡¼10¡½^7 ¡¼mi¡½^2 in diameter, while the diameter of the 2002 hole was 6.9 x ¡¼10¡½^6 ¡¼mi¡½^2 Calculate the difference in size between the two holes in square meters.

the numbers should read 1.04x2

^7 mi^2 in diameter, while 2002 is was 6.9x10^6 mi^2. what is the difference

Subtract the two numbers and then convert square miles to square meeters.

There are 1609 meters in a mile. Square that for m^2/mile^2

The difference in sq miles is 0.35*10^7 mi^2

use the medium triangle and the two small triangles.make a shape that has at least two lines of symmetry.

To calculate the difference in size between the two holes in square meters, we first need to convert the given measurements from square miles to square meters.

We will first convert the 2003 hole measurement from square miles to square meters. We know that 1 square mile is equivalent to 2.59 x 10^6 square meters. So, to convert the measurement:

2003 hole in square meters = (1.04 x 10^7 square miles) * (2.59 x 10^6 square meters/1 square mile)
= 2.6976 x 10^13 square meters

Next, we will convert the 2002 hole measurement from square miles to square meters:

2002 hole in square meters = (6.9 x 10^6 square miles) * (2.59 x 10^6 square meters/1 square mile)
= 1.7891 x 10^13 square meters

Now, we can calculate the difference in size between the two holes:

Difference in size = 2003 hole size - 2002 hole size
= (2.6976 x 10^13 square meters) - (1.7891 x 10^13 square meters)
= 9.085 x 10^12 square meters

Therefore, the difference in size between the two holes is 9.085 x 10^12 square meters.
