The area of a rectangular field (in m 2 ) of length 55 . 3   m and breadth 25   m after rounding off the value for correct significant digits is:

Step-by-step solution

Length has 3 significant digits and breadth has 2 significant digits, hence the product should have least number of significant digits which is 2. Area of rectangular field is, A = length × breadth = 55 . 3   m × 25   m = 1382 . 5   m 2 Thus, area of rectangular field upto correct significant figure is 14 × 10 2 .
