The area of the crops, in scientific notation, is: 4.725x10^6 ft^2
<h3>How to find the area in scientific notation?</h3>
We know that for a rectangle of width W and height H, the area is:
A = W*H
In this case, we know that:
W = 2.7x10^3 ft
H = 3.5x10^3 ft
Replacing that in the area equation, we get:
A = (2.7x10^3 ft)*(3.5x10^3 ft)
We can simplify that as:
A = (2.7*3.5)x(10^3*10^3) ft^2
A = 9.45x10^(3 + 3) ft^2
A = 9.45x10^6 ft^2
And the crops are in half of that area:
a = (9.45x10^6 ft^2)/2 = 4.725x10^6 ft^2
Why I use three significant digits? because the precision of the measurements is of the order of 10^3, which is way smaller than the order of the area, 10^6.
