Texas : 2.69x10^5
Rhode Island : 1.21x10^3
Please helpp! And explain or show your work!! I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!

First, let's take both of these values out of scientific notation:

2.69 x 10^5 = 269000

1.21 x 10^3 = 1210

Then, we can subtract the two values to find the difference between the area of Texas and Rhode Island:

269000 - 1210 = 267790

Next, we'll put this value back into scientific notation:

2.677790 x 10^5

Therefore, the difference between the area of Texas and Rhode Island is 2.677790 x 10^5 square miles (the number can also be rounded off to 2.68 if needed).

Hope this helps!! :)
