A set of four stars form the shape of a rectangle in space. The length of the rectangle is approximately 5,250,000 miles, while the width of the rectangle is approximately 27,400,000.000000004 miles. What is the approximate area of the rectangle?
To find the area of the rectangle, we use the formula: Area = length x width.
Given:
Length = 5,250,000 miles
Width = 27,400,000.000000004 miles
Area = 5,250,000 miles x 27,400,000.000000004 miles
Area = 143,850,000,000,000 miles
Therefore, the approximate area of the rectangle is 143,850,000,000,000 square miles.
