\mathbf{5.2*}10^3

1) Since the real car is 5200mm long then we can rewrite that 5200 length as a Scientific Notation.

2) We can write it as a rational number with two decimal places times a power of ten.


5200\operatorname{mm}=\mathbf{5.2*}10^3

Hence, the length of that car in scientific notation
