You will be using these rules in your calculations. As an example of a sample calculation, find the volume of a rectangular solid: V = Lx W x H V = (25.95 cm)(5.87 cm)(83 cm) V = 13000 cm³ = 1.3 x 10“ cm3 Note that when you do this calculation in your calculator, you will have an answer of 12643.0995. However, the 83 cm limits your answer to 2 significant figures, so you must round the final answer to 2 significant figures. Remember you need to keep the place value of the significant figures! The scientific notation helps clarify that none of the zeros are significant.
