_ x 10^(3) square yards
To find the area of a Canadian football field, we need to add 3,350 square yards to the area of an American football field.
Area of Canadian football field = Area of American football field + 3,350 square yards
The area of the American football field is given as 6.4 × 10^(3) square yards.
Adding 3,350 square yards to 6.4 × 10^(3) square yards gives us:
6.4 × 10^(3) + 3,350 = 9,750 square yards
Thus, the area of a Canadian football field is 9,750 square yards.
Writing this in scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we get:
9.75 × 10^(3) square yards
