The length, breadth, and thickness of a rectangular sheet are given as 4.234 m, 1.005 m, and 2.01 cm, respectively. What is the volume of the sheet expressed with the correct number of significant figures?
0.0856 m^3
0.08562 m^3
0.085620 m^3
0.085 m^3
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The number of significant figures in each measurement is considered to determine the final significant figures in the calculated volume. The limiting measurement is the thickness with three significant figures, so the volume must also be expressed with three significant figures.
