(Scientific Notation in the Real World HC)
A company is designing a rectangular computer chip that is
Part A: Determine the area of the compufer chip. Show every step of your work. (3 points)
Part B: Write the area in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits, and label with the appropriate units. (3 points)
Part c: Determine the perimeter of the computer chip. Show every step of your work. (3 points)
Part D: Write the perimeter in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits, and label with the appropriate units (3 points)
For Part D, we write the perimeter in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits. The length has more decimal places than the width, so our answer should have the same number of decimal places as the width. Therefore, the perimeter of the computer chip is
Step 1 :Given the length of the computer chip is
Step 2 :For Part A, we calculate the area of the computer chip. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula length * width. So, we multiply
Step 3 :The calculated area is
Step 4 :For Part B, we write the area in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits. Both the length and width have two significant digits, so our answer should also have two significant digits. Therefore, the area of the computer chip is
Step 5 :For Part C, we calculate the perimeter of the computer chip. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2*(length + width). So, we add
Step 6 :The calculated perimeter is
Step 7 :For Part D, we write the perimeter in scientific notation with the correct number of significant digits. The length has more decimal places than the width, so our answer should have the same number of decimal places as the width. Therefore, the perimeter of the computer chip is
