8. Your calculator gives you the number 1761.2868 as the volume (in cm^ 3) of a box 2.0 ft by 6.5 cm by 1.75 în. Since this number should reflect the precision of the physical measurements, how many significant figures will you record for the volume of the box? What is the volume of the box?
Suppose you are trying to find the volume of a box based on the given measurements for the length, width, and height of the box, where the height was measured in two parts. length, l = 2.20 in width, w = 3.71 in height, h = 10.4 in + 1 in Calculate the height, ℎ, of the box, first keeping all digits, then rounding to the proper number of significant figures. unrounded h = ____in rounded h =____ in
Calculate the volume (V) of the box using V =l x w x h. Round to the proper number of significant figures.
