Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width
For statement A;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²
The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)
For statement B;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²
Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)
Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
