Answer:

[tex]Area = 6.5 * 10^3cm^2[/tex] or [tex]Area = 6.5E3\ cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Width = 1.5 * 10^2cm[/tex]

[tex]Length = 4.3 * 10^1cm[/tex]

Required

Determine the Area

The base area is calculated as:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]Area = 1.5 * 10^2cm * 4.3 * 10^1 cm[/tex]

Reorder the expression

[tex]Area = 1.5 * 4.3 * 10^1 cm* 10^2cm[/tex]

[tex]Area = 6.45 * 10^1 cm* 10^2cm[/tex]

Apply law of indices

[tex]Area = 6.45 * 10^{1+2}cm^2[/tex]

[tex]Area = 6.45 * 10^3cm^2[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]Area = 6.5 * 10^3cm^2[/tex]

or

[tex]Area = 6.5E3\ cm^2[/tex]
