Multiply 0.00032 cm by 4.02 cm and express the answer in scientific notation. Remember to follow significant figure rules.

Verified Answer :

The answer is 1.3 10⁻³ cm²

0.00032 cm
4.02 cm = 0.0013 cm²

0.0013 cm² = 1.3 0.001 cm² = 1.3 10⁻³ cm²

Answer:

\(\text{The product in standard form = }1.28\times 10^{-3}\:\:cm^2\)

Step-by-step explanation:

One length is given to be 0.00032 cm

Second length is given to be 4.02 cm

Now, To find the product of the two quantities :

Product = First Length × Second Length

             = 0.00032 × 4.02

             = 0.0012864 cm²

Now, we need to represent the obtained product into the standard form

\(\text{So, The product in standard form = }1.28\times 10^{-3}\:\:cm^2\)
