Consider the scale drawing and actual drawing of an office. a smaller rectangle has a length of 2.5 inches and width of 1.5 inches. a larger rectangle has a length of 5 yards and width of 3 yards. compare the scale drawing to the actual drawing. what information is needed to find the area? 1. the scale factor is . 2. the area of the scale drawing is . 3. to find the area of the actual drawing, multiply the area of the scale drawing by the of the scale factor

answer:

whereis the other drawing

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
