A P E X

Answer 2

`5.37* 10^(-4)\ m`

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is used to express a number in the form of
`a* 10^b`. Here, a is real number and b is integer.

The given number is 0.000537 m

To express it in scientific notation, we must understand that there are 6 numbers after decimal. There are 3 zeroes before 537.

In scientific notation we can write it as :

`5.37* 10^(-4)\ m`

Therefore, this is the required answer.
