Well, let's first square 3.5x10^4 which is 1,225,000,000
Scientific notation is when you put a decimal place after the first digit and then say the answer is that multiplied by 10 to a power. This power is the number of digits that come after the first. In this case, the power should be 9 (if you count the 225 and all the 0's, you'll count 9 numbers).
Thus the answer is 1.225x10^9
Yes it is because if it changed it would no longer be a trapizoid
Nearest 10 is according to the last digit.
if the digit is >5, it +1 to the tenth digit. If it's <5, it will be reduced to 0.
for your case, 392, 2 < 5, therefore rounded up to nearest tenth is 390.
