PLEASE HELP ME DO NOT HELP IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT

The state of Colorado had roughly the shape of a rectangle that is 3.8 x 10^2

2.8 x 10^2 miles high. What is the approximate area of Colorado? hint: the area of the rectangle is a product of its length and width.

Answer 1

Area of rectangle = length times width

Let 3.8 x 10^2 = width

Let 2.8 x 10^2 = length

Search your book or online for instructions on how to multiply in terms of scientific notation.

A = (2.8 x 10^2)(3.8 x 10^2)

Take it from here.
