Question

5. Kwame is measuring the dimensions of a box he will be using in a coming experiment. He measures the dimensions of the box as 0.885 meters wide 0.20 meters deep, and 0.75 meters tall. Using the correct

number of significant figures, what is the volume of this box?
0.13m³
0.133m³
0.1328m³
0.1327500m³

Answer 1

The volume of the box is approximately 0.133 m³. Rounding it to the correct number of significant figures, the volume of the box would be approximately 0.133 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular box can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the box are 0.885 meters wide, 0.20 meters deep, and 0.75 meters tall.

To find the volume with the correct number of significant figures, we need to consider the dimensions with the least number of significant figures, which is the depth with 2 significant figures.

So, the volume of the box would be 0.885 m x 0.20 m x 0.75 m, which equals 0.13275 m³.

Rounding it to the correct number of significant figures, the volume of the box would be approximately 0.133 m³.
