An egg of a certain kind of insect called a tachinidae is 0.00002 meters long. what is this length in scientific notation?

.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an egg of a certain kind of insect called a Tachinidae is 0.00002 meters long. We are asked to write the length in scientific notation.

To write a number in scientific, we need to factors. One factor is between 0 and 10 and second is a power of 10.

The first factor will be 2.

Since our given number has 5 digits after decimal, so we will multiply 2 by 1 divided by 10 to the fifth power.

Using exponent property , we can write our expression as:

Therefore, the length in scientific notation would be .
