A wooden block has the following measured dimensions: height 1.25 cm; width 2.5 cm and length of 15.956 cm. Calculate its volume in ml with the proper number of significant figures.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that the volume of an object is computed by considering its dimensions, width, length and height, for the given measurements, we obtain:

Moreover, since one cubic centimetre equals one millilitre, the required volume is:

Finally, since 2.5 cm has the fewest significant figures (2), the proper result is:

Regards.
