Explanation

0.21 x0.34 = 0.0714 = 7.14 x10sup-2To express the product of 0.21 and 0.34 in standard form, we multiply the two numbers and then convert the result to standard form.0.21 * 0.34 = 0.0714To convert 0.0714 to standard form, we move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we move the decimal point two places to the right:0.0714 = 7.14 * 10^(-2)Therefore, the product of 0.21 and 0.34 in standard form is 7.14 * 10^(-2).
