Question

The length of typical airline runway is 8200 feet. The length in scientific notation is ft

• A. 8.2x${10}^3$
• B. 82.2 x${10}^2$
• C. 4.1x${10}^2$
• D. 8.2x${10}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 8.2x${10}^3$

It is given that, the length of the typical airline runway is 8200 ft.

4.1 $\times$${10}^2$ = 4.1 $\times$ 100 = 410 ft

8.2 $\times$${10}^2$ = 8.2 $\times$ 100 = 820 ft

82.2 $\times$${10}^2$ = 82.2 $\times$ 100 = 8220 ft

8.2 $\times$${10}^3$ = 8.2 $\times$ 1000 = 8200 ft

Hence, the length of the runway in scientific notation is 8.2 $\times$${10}^3$ ft
