Answer 2

The length of the border in standard form is 1,951 miles

Explanation:

we have that

The length is
`1.951*10^3\ mi`

Remember that

`10^3=1,000`

substitute

Move the decimal point to the right as many places as there are zeros in the factor. Move the decimal point three steps to the right (1,000 has three zeros)

`1.951*10^3\ mi=1.951*(1,000)=1,951\ mi`

therefore

The length of the border in standard form is 1,951 miles
