Answer:

2.75x10⁻¹⁰m

Step-by-step explanation:

By scientific notation, we have to express 0.000000000275 m in powers.

This can be done by counting the number of zeros after the decimal and the number after 0 which is 2.

from 2 to the decimal point, we have 10 characters

so we express it scientifically as,

= 2.75x10⁻¹⁰m

for easy understanding. i have added an attachment to help you out on how to do this.
