1 answer:

8 0

The distance in scientific notation is 5.6x10^5 miles. ^ is to the power of. Start from the right of a number and count the number of spaces till you get between the first two numbers, and that is how you get your exponent. It would be a different case if you had a decimal number though. For example the scientific notation of 0.00000256 would be 2.5x10^-6. You would count the number of spaces from the left to right and the exponent would be a negative.

Answer:

352cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is a cuboid and it has 6 faces, and the opposite faces are equal, so I calculate 3 different faces and multiplied it by 2 to give me the total surface area. Therefore, total surface area = the addition of all the surface areas in the shape. And to get each surface area, you have find the area of each of the 6 faces, and add them together, to give you the total surface area.
