Question

Measured value 28.7053 cm, which has six significant figures. Round the measurement to five significant figures

Answer 1

Answer:

28.705 cm

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for rounding the number to five significant figures we must "cut" it at 5 so we hide the 3, therefore it turns out:

28.705 cm.

Moreover, we must realize that since such 3 is less than five, we do not modify the previous five to six, case which would happen if that three has changed to five or more.

Regards.
