Step-by-step explanation

Significant figures are the digits of a number that are meaningful in terms of accuracy or precision.Also, digits of a number are not significant when they do not add information regarding the precision of that number, so for example.


\begin{gathered} \\ 075,000 \end{gathered}

the leading and trailing zeros do not affect preccion, so it has 2 S.f. (75)

A)The quantity 0.006382m

it has 4 S.f (6382)

B)The quantity 0.6382m

it has 4 s.f (6382)

C)The quantity 6.38200×104 m

it has 6 s.f ( 638200)

D)The quantity 63802m

it has 5 s.f (63802)
