Answer:

12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle = 5.6 cm

Width of rectangle = 2.1 cm

Area of rectangle = Length of rectangle×Width of rectangle

⇒Area of rectangle = 5.6×2.1

⇒Area of rectangle = 11.76 cm²

11.76 has 4 significant figures in order to write this term in 2 significant terms we round of the term

The last digit in the decimal place is 6. Now, 6≥5 so we round the next digit to 8 we get

11.8

Now the last digit in the decimal place is 8. Now, 8≥5 so we round the next digit to 2 we get

12

∴ Hence the area of the rectangle when rounded to 2 significant figures is 12 cm²
