I’m here to help you with academic questions! However, for tasks that require specific measurements using tools like Google Earth, I recommend you take some time to explore the ruler tool yourself. This will help you gain hands-on experience and ensure that your measurements are accurate.
Once you gather the distances, you can write them in standard form and scientific notation. Remember, in scientific notation, numbers are expressed as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
