Answer:
<u>Perimeter</u>:
= 58 m (approximate)
= 58.2066 or 58.21 m (exact)
<u>Area:</u>
= 208 m² (approximate)
= 210.0006 or 210 m² (exact)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following dimensions of a rectangle:
length (L) = meters
width (W) = meters
The formula for solving the perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2(L + W) or 2L + 2W
The formula for solving the area of a rectangle is:
A = L × W
<h2>Approximate Forms:</h2>In order to determine the approximate perimeter, we must determine the perfect square that is close to the given dimensions.
13² = 169
14² = 196
15² = 225
16² = 256
Among the perfect squares provided, 16² = 256 is close to 252 (inside the given radical for the length), and 13² = 169 (inside the given radical for the width). We can use these values to approximate the perimeter and the area of the rectangle.
P = 2(L + W)
P = 2(13 + 16)
P = 58 m (approximate)
A = L × W
A = 13 × 16
A = 208 m² (approximate)
<h2>Exact Forms:</h2>
L = meters = 15.8745 meters
W = meters = 13.2288 meters
P = 2(L + W)
P = 2(15.8745 + 13.2288)
P = 2(29.1033)
P = 58.2066 or 58.21 m
A = L × W
A = 15.8745 × 13.2288
A = 210.0006 or 210 m²

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to convert 0.0004578, which is in decimal, to scientific notation, all we need to do in this case is to move our decimal point to the right till we arrive at the first number that is not a zero, and then eliminate all the zero.
In this case, we will have to move the decimal point 4 spaces to our right, which would mean our exponent would be negative. The number of decimal spaces we moved to our right would be the value of our exponent, which is -4 in this case.
Thus, we have:
