if you are talking about scientific notation when you say standard form, then your answer would be as follows:

(7.5 * 10^2) * (3.7 * 10^2) is equal to (7.5 * 3.7) * (10^2 * 10^2) which is equal to 27.75 * 10^4.

to convert this to scientific notation, then divide 27.75 by 10 and multiply 10^4 by 10 to get:

2.775 * 10^4 * 10^1 which is equal to 2.775 * 10^5

in standard decimal form, this is equal to 277,500
