Scientific notation is a way to write compactly numbers with lots of digits, either because they're very large (like 2393490000000000000000000), or very small (like 0.0000000000356).

We use powers of ten to describe all those leading/trailing zeros, so that we con concentrate on the significat digits alone.

In your case, the "important" part of the number is composed by the digits 6 and 1, all the other digits are zero. But how many zeroes? Well, let's do the computation.

Every power of 10, 10^n is written as one zero followed by n zeroes, so we have

10^6 = 1000000 \implies 6.1 \times 10^6 =6.1 \times 1000000

Multiplying a number by 10^n means to shift the decimal point to the right and/or add trailing zeroes n times. So, we have to repeat this process six times. We shift the decimal point to the right one position, and then add the five remaning zeroes. The result is thus

6.1 \times 1000000 = 6100000

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of neither the rectangular prism nor the triangular prism are given, so we don't know the volume of either.

If h is the height of the rectangular prism, then its volume is

6×8×h = 48

if the height of the triangular prism is h/2, then its volume is

(1/2)×24×8×(h/2) = 48

So we know the volumes are the same -- but we don't know what that volume is.
