Answer:

4.356 × 10⁶ square feet or 4.356 × 10⁶ ft² of pizza per year

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a means, method or way that is used in mathematics to write very large or small real numbers in a very short form or compressed form.

Scientific notation uses exponents or 10 raised to the power of a particular number to write huge or small real number in a decimal form.

In the question, we are asked to express the area in square feet as a scientific notation.

The area = 4,356,000 square feet of pizza per year

4,356,000 square feet of pizza per year in scientific notation =

4.356 × 10⁶ square feet of pizza per year.
