The Patch's area of the space shuttle in km² is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
Given, that a space shuttle requires a 20.7 cm² patch
We have to convert the patch's area from cm² into km².
Unit conversion is a method in which we multiply or divide with a particular numerical factor and then finally round off to the nearest significant digits.
Patch area of the space shuttle is 20.7 cm²
1 cm = 0.00001 km
or, 1 cm² = (0.00001 km)²
or, 1 cm² = 10⁻¹⁰km²
20.7 cm² = 20.7 × 10⁻¹⁰km²
20.7 cm² = 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
The patch area in square kilometers is 2.07 × 10⁻⁹ km²
