Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cm wide by 5.6-cm long. Your calculator answer would be 11.76

cm2 . Now suppose you are asked to enter the answer to two significant figures. (Note that if you do not round your answer to two significant figures, your answer will fall outside of the grading tolerance and be graded as incorrect.)

The area of a rectangle whose length is 5.6 cm and the width is 2.1 cm to two significant figures is 12 cm ².

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Area </h3>
  • Area is a measure of how much space is occupied by a given shape.
  • Area of a substance is determined by the type of shape in question.

For example;

Area of a rectangle is given by; Length multiplied by width

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of a circle = πr². where r is the radius of a circle,

Area of a square = S², Where s is the side of the square.etc.

Perimeter

  • Perimeter is defined as the distance along a two dimension shape.  Perimeter of different shapes is given by different formulas
  • For example

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length+width)

The perimeter of a triangle = a+b+c; where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle. etc.

In this question

The rectangle has a;

Length = 5.6 cm

Width = 2.1 cm

Area of a rectangle = length × width

                               = 2.1 cm × 5.6 cm

                               = 11.76 cm²

The area of the rectangle to two significant figures is 12 cm²

First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!

It is believed that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will result in
Jobisdone [24]

"Belief" is not involved.  

<em>Choice-A</em> is the correct answer. Except that it's not "... will result in ...".  It's already happening.

The people who have been keeping records of temperatures at a thousand places around the world, for the past hundred years, do not "believe".  They know that average global temperatures are increasing, and have been increasing steadily for a couple of Centuries now.

Working from hypotheses, models, observations, and proven laws of nature, the global scientific community are convinced that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, driven by human activity, are the cause of the trend in average global temperatures.

Yes, you can find published researchers who aren't so sure, and who disagree with this conclusion.  The scientific community is <em>never</em> 100% unanimous.  There were reasonable investigators and scientific observers who disagreed with Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Hawking and Einstein, in their time.  

But the voices that dispute human-caused climate change in the form of global warming are few, and they're becoming fewer as time goes on. Today, their reputation sits just a few notches above that of the Flat-Earthers, and it's continuing to sag further.

If we are to do what has to be done, in time to bring about the needed effect, it can't sag fast enough.

What life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms
worty [1.4K]
The most probable answer for this question would be that almost every life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms. To simply put it, cells of multicellular organisms are specialized in a way that they are all grouped into their respective tissues and these tissues are all grouped into their respective organs and these organs are all grouped together into their respective systems and these systems make up the multicellular organisms. These systems have their own functions in maintaining and sustaining the life that the organisms has. The organs have their own functions as well, thus specialized cells are mostly needed in respiration, digestion, circulation, movement, excretion, reproduction, immunity, coordination, and synthesis.
