Acarpet is to be installed in a room of length 9.72 meters and width 17.30 of the room retaining the proper number of significant figures. 72 meters and width 17.39 feet. find the area in square meters

168 m^2, 380 m^2

Explanation:

length of the room, l = 9.72 m

width of the room, b = 17.30 m

Area of teh rectangle is given by

A = length x width

So, A = 9.72 x 17.30 = 168.156 m^2

the significant digits should be 3 in the final answer

So, A = 168 m^2

Now length = 72 m

width = 17.39 feet = 5.3 m

Area, A = 72 x 5.3 = 381.6 m^2

There should be two significant digits in the answer so, by rounding off

A = 380 m^2
