1. Write the answers for the following in scientific notation with three significant digits. a. The earth's circumference, measured through the poles, is exactly 40, 000, 000 m (according to an early standard of the meter). What is the radius of the earth, R? R= m. b. The surface area of the earth is given by A = 4 x R². What is the area A? A = m². c. Using the units conversion 1 inch = 2.54 cm, convert the volume V = 302 in³ into a volume in cubic cm (cm³) and in liters. (1 L = 1000 cm³). Show your steps in below!
