Convert the following to basic SI units or a combination of basic SI units: (d) 2.2 x 10^4 mi^2

Accepted Answer

Welcome back everybody. We are tasked with expressing this value in terms of standard S. I. Units. If you'll notice we are looking at length because we are dealing with miles, meaning that our final answer should be expressed in meters to the same power, which it's miles squared. So this should be meters squared. Let's go ahead and do this. Let's write this out. We have 3.4 times 10 to the fourth miles squared. You can look up a conversion rate that states that in one mile there are 1,609. m. And what I'm gonna do is I'm going to square both the top and bottom to get our desired units. So then if you multiply straight across, you get 3.4 times 10 to the fourth time 16 09 squared gives us 8.8 times 10 to the 10th meters squared, corresponding to our final answer. Choice of B. Thank you all so much for watching. Hope this video helped. We will see you well in the next one.
