The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are 1,483 feet tall. The Key Tower in Cleveland, Ohio, is 947 feet tall. How is the difference in height between the Petronas Towers and Key Tower expressed in standard scientific notation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The difference in height is 5.36 × [tex]10^{2}[/tex] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the difference in height in the given units of "feet".

The difference in height of the two buildings is 1,483 - 947 = 536 feet

536 feet can now be expressed in standard scientific notation of the form

A × 10^n, where A is a number between 1 and 10, and "n" is a positive integer (n > 0)

So, 536 feet = 5.36 × 100  = 5.36 × [tex]10^{2}[/tex] feet in standard scientific notation
