The largest country in the world is Russia with a land area of 16,376,870 km2 Wh area of the Russia in m' 11. A) 1.637687 x10 B) 1.637687 x10 C) 1.637687 x10 D) 1637687 x10" E) 1.637687 x10

Answer 1

1.637687 x 10¹³ m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Land area of Russia has been given in the question as

A = land area of Russia = 16,376,870 km²

we know that

1 km = 1000 m

hence

A = land area of Russia = 16,376,870 (1000 m)² = 16,376,870,000,000 m²

A = 16,376,870,000,000 m²

To represent the area in exponent form, we shift the decimal place from right to left until we have one decimal place.

So we get

A = 1.637687 x 10¹³ m²
