Question

The moon's radius in scientific notation 1.77 x 10^6. write the lengths of the moon's diameter in standard form

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the moon's diameter, knowing that the diameter has double the radius length:

`\begin{gathered} \text{radius}=1.77\cdot10^6 \\ \text{diameter}=2\cdot\text{radius} \\ \text{diameter}=2\cdot1.77\cdot10^6 \\ \text{diameter}=3.54\cdot10^6 \end{gathered}`

Now, writing the result in standard form, we have:

`\text{diameter}=3,540,000`
