Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cm wide by 5.6-cm long. Your calculator answer would be 11.76 cm2. Now suppose you are asked to enter the answer to two significant figures. (Note that if you do not round your answer to two significant figures, your answer will fall outside of the grading tolerance and be graded as incorrect.)

A:
Answer:[tex]12 cm^2[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:We are given that Width of rectangle=b=2.1 cmLength of rectangle=l=5.6 cmWe have to find the area of rectangle.We know that Area of rectangle=[tex]l\times b[/tex]Using the formula Area of rectangle =[tex]2.1\times 5.6[/tex]Area of rectangle=[tex]11.76\approx 12 cm^2[/tex]Hence, the area of rectangle=[tex]12 cm^2[/tex]
