Find each product or quotient. Use significant digits. 0.0505m * 665m a. 33.6 m2 b. 33.58 m2 c. 33.50 m2 d. 33.582 m2

Respuesta :

The answer to this I believe is c

Answer:

d.  [tex]33.5825m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression [tex]0.0505m\times 665m[/tex]. We are asked to find the product of our given expression using significant figures.

Upon multiplying both terms of our given expression, we will get:

[tex]0.0505m\times 665m[/tex]

[tex]0.0505\times 665m^2[/tex]

[tex]33.5825m^2[/tex]

Now, we will use significant figures rule to give our final answer. The rules are:

  • Any non-zero digits are significant. The zeros between two digits are always significant.
  • Leading zeros (zeros before non-zero numbers) are not significant.
  • Trailing zeros (zeros after non-zero numbers) are significant, if they are after decimal. The trialing zeros without decimal are not significant.

We can see that our product has 4 non-zero digits after decimal, therefore, these are significant digits and option 'd' is the correct choice.
