The state of wyoming has roughly the shape of a rectangle that is 3.6 x 102 miles long and 2.8 x 102 miles high. what is the approximate area of wyoming? hint: the area of a rectangle is product of its length and width.

Respuesta :

Assuming a regularly shaped rectangle, the formula for the area is given as:

A = L * W

where L and W are the length and width respectively

A = 3.6 x 10^2 miles * 2.8 x 10^2 miles

A = 100,800 square miles

or

A = 10.08 x 10^2 miles

Answer: The area of wyoming is [tex]A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of wyoming is rectangular with length , [tex]L=3.6\times 10^{2}\, miles[/tex]

and height , [tex]H=2.8\times 10^{2}\, miles[/tex]

Area of rectangle , [tex]A=L\times W[/tex]

=> [tex]A=(3.6\times 10^{2})\times (2.8\times 10^{2})\, miles^{2}[/tex]

=>[tex]A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}[/tex]

Thus the area of wyoming is [tex]A=1.008\times 10^{5}\, miles^{2}[/tex]
