The state of wyoming has roughly the shape of a rectangle that is 3.6 x 102 miles long and 2.8 x 102 miles high. what is the approximate area of wyoming? hint: the area of a rectangle is product of its length and width.

Assuming a regularly shaped rectangle, the formula for the area is given as:

A = L * W

where L and W are the length and width respectively

A = 3.6 x 10^2 miles * 2.8 x 10^2 miles

A = 100,800 square miles

or

A = 10.08 x 10^2 miles
