a rectangle with the bottom labeled 2.5 times 10 cubed feet and the right side labeled 3.3 times 10 cubed feet

Part A: If half of the field is used to grow crops, what is the area of the portion of the field that has crops growing? Show every step of your work. (2 points)

Part B: Write the final answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits, and label with the correct units. (1 point)

Part C: Explain how you chose the number of significant digits in the final answer

Respuesta :

The area of the field used to grow the crops is 4125 ft².

The area of the field used to grow the crops is  4.1x 10³ ft² .

The final answer was rounded off to two significant numbers.

What is the area of the portion of the field used to grow crops?

Scientific notation is used to condense large numbers into smaller numbers. In order to write a number in scientific notation the number is written as a decimal number, between 1 and 10 and multiplied by a power of 10.

For example, : 2 x 10² is equivalent to 200

The area of a rectangular field = length x width

Area of the rectangular field used to grow the crops : 1/2 x (2.5 x 10³) x (3.3 x 10³)

1/2 x (8.25 x [tex]10^{3+3}[/tex])

1/2 x  (8.25 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex])

4.125 x 10³ ft²

= 4125 ft²

= 4.1x 10³ ft² (rounding off to two significant numbers)
