2(6.1 ^10^2)=1.22 * 10^7 (or 12.2x 10^6)
2(9.2X10^7)=18.4^x 10^7
Can add these with the same power of 10.
19.62 x10^7 square units
1.962 x 10^8 square units, scientific notation.

Use your calculator:
--------
Height: 10^6= 1,000,000; 1,000,000x6.1= 6,100,000
--------
Width: 10^7= 10,000,000; 10,000,000x9.2= 90,000,000
-------
The perimeter of the rectangle is 2H+2W. Again, use your calculator. Multiply the Height x 2 and the Width x 2 and add the results.
