Answer:
The answer to your question is: 2.65 x 10⁷ square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Southern ocean area = 7.85 x 10⁶ square miles
Difference between areas Indian ocean = 1.865 x 10⁷ square miles
and the southern ocean
Process
a) To find the area of the Indian ocean we need to sum of the values of the area of the Southern ocean and the area of the difference between the Indian ocean and the southern ocean.
b)
Area of the Indian Ocean = 1.865 x 10⁷ + 7.85 x 10⁶
= 2.65 x 10⁷ square miles
Answer:
The area of the Indian ocean is [tex]2.65\times 10^7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The area of the southern ocean is about [tex]7.85\times 10^6[/tex] square miles. The difference between the areas of the Indian ocean and the southern ocean is about [tex]1.865\times 10^7[/tex] square miles.
To find : Explain how to find the area of the Indian ocean. Then find the area.
Solution :
The area of the southern ocean is about [tex]7.85\times 10^6[/tex] square miles.
i.e. [tex]A_s=7.85\times 10^6[/tex]
The difference between the areas of the Indian ocean and the southern ocean is about [tex]1.865\times 10^7[/tex] square miles.
i.e. [tex]A_i-A_s=1.865\times 10^7[/tex]
Substitute the value of [tex]A_s[/tex]
[tex]A_i-7.85\times 10^6=1.865\times 10^7[/tex]
[tex]A_i=1.865\times 10^7+7.85\times 10^6[/tex]
[tex]A_i=1.865\times 10^7+0.785\times 10^7[/tex]
[tex]A_i=(1.865+0.785)\times 10^7[/tex]
[tex]A_i=2.65\times 10^7[/tex]
Therefore, The area of the Indian ocean is [tex]2.65\times 10^7[/tex]
