Answer:

2.39 x 10^5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it is not usually written, there is always a .0 at the end of a number unless there is a specific decimal that was given.

So, the number here is 239,000.0 and if you count the number of spaces that the decimal needs to move in order to be in the correct spot for scientific notation (which is always after the first number), there is 5 spaces.

Therefore the answer is 2.39 x 10^5 miles.

John has a rectangular-shaped field whose length is 62.5 yards and width is 45.3 yards. The area of the field is ________ square

oee [108]

Area = 2831.25 square yards

Perimeter =215.6 yards

EXPLANATION

The area and perimeter of a rectangular field are found using the formula for finding the area and perimeter of a rectangle respectively.

That means, area of the rectangular field is given by the formula,

$A= l\times w$

We just have to substitute
$l=62.5$ and $w= 45.3$ into the given formula and evaluate.

This implies that;

$A= 62.5\times 45.3$

This gives the area of the rectangular-shaped field to be;

$A= 2831.25$ square yards.

Now for the perimeter, we use the formula

$P=2w +2l$

Or

$P=2(w +l)$

Substituting the values for the length and width gives,

$P=2(62.5+45.3)$

$\Rightarrow P=2(107.8)$

$\Rightarrow P=215.6$

Hence the perimeter of the rectangular shaped field is 215.6 yards.
