Well, I counted 150 as 3 but it has 3 ONLY if written as 150. or 1.50E3. Sorry about that; you're right. 2 is the right answer and I'm wrong. :-(
No. Area = 150 m x 100.0 m = ?
When multiplying(or dividing) the number of s.f. in the answer is the same as the SMALLEST number of the group. 150 has 3, 100.09 has 4; therefore, the answer may have 3.
Here is a very good site to read for this.
