Expert Solution
Step 1 Significant figure and estimated digit

Digits that shows contribution for the accuracy in value we count it as significant figure.

There are 3 rules to determine the significant figure.

1 All non zero digits are significant

2 if there is zero between two significant figure then it is also counted as significant

3 Trailing zero are significant ( if the no is decimal)

Estimated digit

There is some estimated value in all measurements. eg in 123, the digit 12 is exact value and 3 is the estimated value

that 3 is termed as estimated digit.
