A tape dispenser holds 1.14 x 10^4 mm of tape that is 12.7 mm wide. Multiply the two numbers to find the total area in square millimeters of tape write the product I scientific notation

To find the total area in square millimeters of the tape, we need to multiply the length of the tape (1.14 x 10^4 mm) by the width of the tape (12.7 mm).

The product is:

1.14 x 10^4 mm * 12.7 mm = 1.448 x 10^5 mm^2.

Therefore, the total area of the tape is 1.448 x 10^5 square millimeters.
