Answer 1

Answer:
`2.9(10)^(7) ft`

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we need to know that
`1 km=3280.84 ft`, then we cam make the conversion:

`8848 km (3280.84 ft)/(1 km)=29,028,872.32 ft` This is the height of Mount Everest in feet

However, we can express it using scientific notation by counting to the left the decimal spaces:

`29,028,872.32 ft \approx 2.9(10)^(7) ft`
