Answer:
Distance Formula is given by:
[tex]\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}[/tex]
As per the statement:
Light travels at a speed of 3.0 x 10^8 meters/second.
To find the distance light travels in 4,500 seconds.
using above formula:
[tex]\text{Distance} = 3 \times 10^7 \times 4500[/tex]
Using calculator, we get
Distance = 1.35e+12 meters.
Therefore, you would get 1.35e+12 meters.
