<h3>Answer: Choice A) 212 square meters</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

14.10 has four sig figs. The 0 at the end is significant. This measurement is accurate to the hundredths place. If the author wrote 14.1, then it would be accurate to the tenths place with three sig figs.

15.0 has three sig figs. The 0 is significant. If they wrote 15 or 15. then we'd be dealing with 2 sig figs instead; however they placed the 0 there to tell the reader "this measurement is accurate to the tenths place"

---------------------

Multiply the values given

14.10*15.0 = 211.5

Round that to three sig figs. We pick the smaller sig fig count to round to since we cannot be certain it is accurate to four sig figs. In a sense, we pick the weakest link and use that to determine rounding when it comes to multiplication and division.

This means 211.5 rounds to 212

scZoUnD [109]
You would set this up as Part÷Whole=Percent÷100
Part=117
Whole= X
Percent=78
117÷X=78÷100
Set these up as fractions and cross multiply. You will get 117×100=78X
117×100=11,700
Divide both sides by 78 and you get x=150
