Question

A carpet is to be installed in a room of length 8.71 m and width 6.2 m. Find the area of the room retaining the proper number of significant figures.

Answer 1

54.0 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of any rectangular object can be calculated by the formula,

`A=L* W`

Here, L is the length, W is the width and A is the area.

According to question, the length of the carpet is 8.71 m and the width of the carpet is 6.2 m.

Therefore area of the carpet is,

`A=8.71 m* 6.2 m\\A=54.002 m^(2) \simeq54.0m^(2)`

Therefore the area of the carpet upto proper significant digit is 54.0 m².
