Question

significant figures upto 3 in 110.32cm​

Answer 1

There are 3 significant figures up to 3 in 110.32 cm.

Given:

The number 110.32.

To Find:

The significant figures up to 3 in 110.32cm.

Solution:

Significant figures are those digits that are important or significant and add to the accuracy of that value. In order to count the number of significant figures present in a number, we must look at its rules:

1) All the non-zero figures are important or significant.

2) All the zeros between two significant figures are important or significant.

3) The trailing zeros in a decimal are significant, while the non-trailing zeros are not. For example, the zeroes in 0.1000 are significant, while the zeros in 0.0001 are not.

We are asked to find the significant figures up to 3 in 110.32.

Using the above rules, we find that all the digits up to 3, i.e. 1, 1, and 0 are important or significant.

Hence there are 3 significant figures up to 3 in 110.32 cm.
