Calculate the area, with the appropriate number of significant figures, of a rectangular room that is 14.10 m wide by 15.o m long.
212.m^2
211.5 m^2***
29.1 m
29.10 m
Can someone plz help me, thx
I think you're right. However, I'm not sure about the significant figures.
ok.... thanks anyway
You're welcome. Check back later to see if a math tutor clarifies the significant figures question.
To calculate the area of a rectangle, you simply multiply the width by the length. In this case, the width is given as 14.10 m and the length is given as 15.0 m.
So, the calculation would be:
Area = width × length = 14.10 m × 15.0 m
Multiplying these values together gives:
Area = 211.5 m^2
Since both the width and length have three significant figures, the answer should also be rounded to three significant figures. Therefore, the area of the rectangular room is 211.5 m^2.
