Final answer:

The actual question about the length of MP is not answerable with the given information. However, the information provided is regarding conversion of lengths using metric prefixes and expressing numbers in standard notation, both of which revolve around understanding and using powers of ten.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asks about the length of MP which is not specified in the provided information; instead, various lengths that need to be converted using metric prefixes or rewritten in standard notation are given. To convert lengths to bigger numerical values than one but less than 1000 using metric prefixes, or to express numbers in standard notation without metric prefixes, you refer to powers of ten. Each metric prefix represents a specific power of ten. For instance, the metric prefix 'kilo-' represents 103, meaning that 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m).

Here are examples relevant to the provided information:

  • (a) 7.59 × 107m is equivalent to 75.9 million meters, which can be expressed as 75.9 mega meters (Mm).
  • (b) 0.0074 m can be rewritten as 7.4 millimeters (mm), which is 7.4 × 10-3m in standard notation.
