The length and width of a rectangle are 1.125 m and 0.606 m, respectively. multiplying, your calculator gives the product as 0.68175. rounding properly to the correct number of significant figures, the area should be written as

Respuesta :

Solution: We are given the length of rectangle [tex]=1.125 m[/tex]

width of rectangle  [tex]=0.606 m[/tex]

Therefore, the area of rectangle  [tex] = length \times width[/tex]

                                                       [tex]=1.125 m \times 0.606 m[/tex]

                                                       [tex]=0.68175 m^{2}[/tex]

                                                       [tex]=0.682 m^{2}[/tex] rounded to 3 decimal places

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is [tex]0.682[/tex][tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Answer:

Area = 0.68 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Rectangle = (Length) × (Width)

                              = 1.125 m × 0.606 m

                              = 0.68175 m²

Now, For rounding this area following steps are taken:

First, choose the place we want to round off.

Now look the just right digit of that number if it is less than 5 then remove all unwanted digits.

And if the just right digit is greater than 5 then add 1 to the left digit and remove all unwanted digits.

Here if we round off at 2 places then, Area = 0.68 m²

and if we round off at 3 places then, Area = 0.682 m²
