Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.
