cm. What is the area of the rectangle?
Responses
A 1.77 x 10^3
B 1.77 x 10^5
C 1.77 x 10^4
D 7.812 x 10^3
E 7.812 x 10^5
C 1.77 x 10^4
To calculate the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width.
Area = (9.3 x 10^2) cm * (8.4 x 10^2) cm
Area = 9.3 * 8.4 * 10^2 * 10^2
Area = 78.12 * 10^4
Area = 1.77 x 10^4
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 1.77 x 10^4 square cm.
