Question

Lorena is driving a truck that is painting the lines on a new road. The lines she paints are 0.152 meters wide, and she will paint a total length of 5.45 × 105 meters of lines. The shape created by the lines will be a rectangle, and the area will be the product of the length and width.
Approximately what area of the road will Lorena be painting?

5.602 × 10 (5) m2
8.284 × 10 (4) m2
8.698 × 10 (1) m2
8.284 × 10 (5) m2
5.602 × 10 (4) m2

Answer 1

Answer:

  8.284 × 10^4 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of length and width:

  (5.45·10^5 m)·(0.152 m) = 0.8284·10^5 m^2 = 8.284·10^4 m^2
