Chapter 7.3, Problem 38P

The side length of a square is $9.6\times {10}^5$ in. What is the area of the square?

To determine

To find: The area of the square.

Answer to Problem 38P

The volume of the cylinder is $9.216\times {10}^{11}{\text{ in}}^2$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Side of a square is $9.6\times {10}^5\text{ in}$

Concept used:

The formula to compute the area of the square is:

  $\text{Area of the square =}{\left(\text{Side}\right)}^2$

Calculation:

The area of the square can be calculated as:

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Area = }{\left(9.6\times {10}^5\right)}^2\\ ={9.6}^2\times {\left({10}^5\right)}^2\\ =92.16\times {10}^{10}\\ =9.216\times {10}^{11}\end{array}$

Thus, the volume of the cylinder is $9.216\times {10}^{11}{\text{ in}}^2$
