To find the value rounded to the nearest thousand square miles, you need to look at the digit in the thousands place and determine whether to round it up or down.
In this case, the digit in the thousands place is 7. Since the digit is greater than or equal to 5, we round up. Therefore, we increase the digit in the thousands place by 1, making it 8, and replace all the digits to its right with zeros.
Hence, rounding 3,537,438.98 square miles to the nearest thousand square miles gives us an answer of 3,538,000 square miles.
