How to approximate to 3 significant figures

Mathematics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

We round a number to three significant figures in the same way that we would round to three decimal places. We count from the first non-zero digit for three digits. We then round the last digit. We fill in any remaining places to the right of the decimal point with zeros.

What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 12 in. and radius of 9 in.?
Arisa [49]
Volume of the cone = 1/3π r^2 h

plugging in all the known values 
1/3 * (3.14) * 9 * 9 * 12
= 1017.36 cm³
or
