Answer:

The area of the land in square meters is 1.924 x 10⁷ m²

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wilderness, L = 3.7 × 10⁶ meters

width of the wilderness, W = 5.2 × 10⁵ meters

Area of the land in square meters is given by;

A = L x W

Where;

A is the area of the land

L is length of the land

W is width of the land

A = 5.2 × 10⁵ meters x 3.7 × 10⁶ meters

A = 5.2 × 10⁵ meters x 37 × 10⁵ meters

A = 192.4 × 10⁵ m²

A = 1.924 x 10⁷ m²

Therefore, the area of the land in square meters is 1.924 x 10⁷ m²
