Answer:

9.29 x 10^-2 it's wrong. It's 9.29 x 10^2 (positive)

Explanation:

You can "move" or change the measure of everything using some scales based on specific boards.

There's a way to move from the imperial system (yards, feet, inches) to the metric system ( centimeters, meters, kilometers)

1 square foot = 929.03 square centimetre

929.03 can be written with the scientific notation, taking care of the significant figures like
9.29x10^(2)

3
feet^(2) = 2787.09
cm^(2) or
27.87x10^(2)
cm^(2)
