Raelynn Baxter · Answer 1

Two significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

In multiplication problems, your answer can have no more significant figures than the number with the fewest significant figures.

2.05 cm * 32 cm = 65.600 000 00 cm² (by my calculator)

There are three significant figures in 2.05, but only two in 32.

You must round to two significant figures and report the answer as 66 cm².

65.600 000 00 cm² ⟶ 66 cm²
