Answer:

Two sig figs

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-zero integers always count as sig figs (the 2 before the decimal point), and any trailing zeros at the right end of the number are significant only if there is a decimal point (in this case, the 0 is significant). Therefore, there are 2 sig figs in 2.0 x
10^(2)
