square kilometres. Find the approximate
area of each country in millions of square
kilometres.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area Russia+area Canada=27million square kilometre

1.7 Canada+area Canada=27million square kilometre

(1.7+1) area Canada=27million square kilometre

2.7×area Canada=27million square kilometre

area of Canada=27/2.7=27×10/27=10million square kilometre

area of Russia=27-10=17million square kilometre
