Answer:
14,200 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying two numbers with different significant figures, the significant figures of the product carries the significant of figures of the number with the least significant figures.
Therefore, in finding the area, we have to multiply 91.1 ( 3 significant figures) by 155. 1 (4 significant figures). This tells us that our product will have 3 significant figures.
Now,
![155.9\operatorname{cm}*91.1\operatorname{cm}=14202.49\operatorname{cm}^2]()
rounding to the three significant figures gives
![14200\operatorname{cm}^2]()
Hence, the area of the rectangle is 14200 square centimetres.
