Question

The standard lego brick has a length of 1.25 inches and a width of 0.625 inches. If you were to calculate the area it covered, how many digits would be behind the decimal?

Answer 1

5 digits

Explanation:

From the question above,we are asked to find out the number of digits that will proceed after the decimal point.

And were provided with the information that a standard Lego brick has the following dimensions:

Length of the brick is 1.25 inches

Width of the brick is 0.625 inches.

From here,the area of the brick(which is rectangular in shape) is length multiplied by the width

L×W

1.25×0.625

=0.78125

Now we can see that the digits 78125 proceeded after the decimal point.

Therefore, the number of digits that proceeds after the decimal is 5

Answer 2

There are 5 digits after the decimal point

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of digits that would be after the decimal point have calculating the area of the LEGO brick.

To calculate this area, we first calculate the value of the area of the shape of the of the brick. With the dimensions given, we know that the brick rectangular in shape. Hence, the value of the shape is given by length * width of the brick = 1.25 * 0.625 = 0.78125 square inches

What the question asks us is the number of digits after the decimal point. This number a equal to 5.

There are 5 digits after the decimal point
