Peter determined the area, in square miles, of a piece of land using his calculator. The result of his calculation is displayed on his calculator in scientific notation as 7.4e – 4. Which statement is true of the area of the piece of land?

The true statement of the area of the piece of land is;

(C) It is between 0.0007 and 0.007 square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Using scientific notation, we have the value of a measurement presented as follows;

c × 10ⁿ = ce±n

Where;

c = The coefficient number, less than 10

en = 1 × 10⁺ⁿ

e-n = 1 × 10⁻ⁿ

Therefore, the given number, 7.4 e - 4, can be expressed as follows;

7.4 e - 4 = 7.4 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.00074

0.00074 ≈ 0.0007 and we have;

0.0007 < 0.00074 < 0.007

The correct option is therefore that it is between 0.0007 and 0.007 square mile
