Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The area of the patch is 16.0 cm2.

Calculation:

Part (a):

Write the expression of the area of the patch in km2.

A=A'10-10 km21 cm2

Here, is the area in km2, and A' is the area in cm2.

Substitute, 16 cm2 for A' in the above expression.

A=16 cm210-10 m21 cm2=1.6×10-9 km2

Thus, the area is 1.6x10-9 km2.
