Final answer:
The area of the triangle with a base of 166 mm and a height of 930.0 mm is 0.0772 square meters, considering the appropriate number of significant figures.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the area of a triangle when its base and height measurements are provided. Given that the base is 166 mm and the height is 930.0 mm, we use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 × base × height
To ensure the answer is in square meters and we account for significant figures, first convert millimeters to meters:
Then calculate the area:
Area = 1/2 × 0.166 m × 0.930 m
Area = 0.07719 m²
Expressing this to the proper number of significant figures, we get:
Area = 0.0772 m²
