Answer: 1.8 x 103 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The average of the two extremes is 1,700 meters. This would be 1.7x10^3 in scientific notation. None of the four options include this number. But three stand out as total losers. We can convert the answer options to see the difference:
O 1.7 x 102 meters = 170 meters [Loser]
O 1.8 x 103 meters = 1800 meters
O 1.7 x 10-3 meters = 0.0017 meters [Loser]
O 1.8 x 10-2 meters = 0.018 meters [Loser]
