Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cm wide by 5.6-cm long. Your calculator answer would be 11.76 cm2 . Now suppose you are asked to enter the answer to two significant figures. (Note that if you do not round your answer to two significant figures, your answer will fall outside of the grading tolerance and be graded as incorrect.)

Sagot :

1) ALL non-zero numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are ALWAYS significant.2) ALL zeroes between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant.3) ALL zeroes which are SIMULTANEOUSLY to the right of the decimal point AND at the end of the number are ALWAYS significant.4) ALL zeroes which are to the left of a written decimal point and are in a number >= 10 are ALWAYS significant.

so it will be 11.76 = 12 bc 7 rounds up
