Final answer:
The volume of a cube with sides 2.20 cm, 2.215 cm, and 2.2 cm is calculated to be 10.6947 cm³, which we round to 11 cm³ to match the number of significant figures in the least precise measurement.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of a cube with sides of 2.20 cm, 2.215 cm, and 2.2 cm, we need to multiply these dimensions together:
Volume = length × width × height = 2.20 cm × 2.215 cm × 2.2 cm.
Now let's perform the calculation:
Volume = 2.20 × 2.215 × 2.2 cm³ = 10.6947 cm³
The result should be reported with the correct number of significant figures. In this case, our limiting measurement is 2.2 cm with two significant figures, so the volume should be rounded to two significant figures as well:
Volume = 11 cm³ (rounded to two significant figures).
