Length, breadth and thickness of a rectangular slab are 4.234 m, 1.005 m and 2.01 m respectively. Find volume of the slab to correct significant figures.

  1. $\displaystyle 8.55 m^{3}$

  2. <span>$\displaystyle 8.552 m^{3}$</span>

  3. <span>$\displaystyle 8.6 m^{3}$</span>

  4. None of the above

A Correct answer
Explanation

l = 4.234 m 4 significant figures

b = 1.005 m 4 significant figures
w = 2.01 m 3 significant figures 
Therefore, Volume = lbw= 8.55 .........3 significant figures
