Answer:

      \large\boxed{\large\boxed{18,450kJ/hour}}

Explanation:

1) <em><u>Radiation</u></em><u>'s ratio</u>: 2014 kJ/m²

2) <em><u>United States'</u></em><u> area</u>:  is 9,158,960 km² .

3) <u>Formula:</u>

  • Energy = ratio × area

4) <u>Conversion factor</u>:

         (1km)^2=(1,000m)2\\\\1km^2=1,000,000m^2\\\\1=1km^2/1,000,000m^2

5) <u>Solve</u>:

In one hour:

             E=2,014kJ/m^2\times 9,158,960km^2\times  1km^2/1,000,000m^2\\\\E=18,446kJ\approx 18,450kJ

That is per hour.

The answer is rounded to 4 signficant figures.
