Answer 1

Answer: The result of the given calculation is $2.98\times 10^{-4}cm$

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the notation in which a number is expressed in the decimal form. This means that the number is always written in the power of 10 form.

We are given an expression:

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.0263cm^2}{88.2cm}$

The operation carried out in the above expression is division operation. The units are also treated in the same way.

The solution for the above expression is:

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.0263cm^2}{88.2cm}=0.000298cm$

The value in scientific notation is $2.98\times 10^{-4}cm$

Hence, the result of the given calculation is $2.98\times 10^{-4}cm$
