Asquare solar collector measures 6.00 m by 6.00 m and another solar collector measures 8.000 m by 8.000 m. using the correct number of significant figures what is the combined area of both collectors?
a) 1.00×10^2
b) 1.0 ×10^2
c)1×10^2
d) 1.000x10^2
e) 1.x10^2

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division  is :

The least precise number present determines the number of significant figures in the answer.  

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Area of square collector 1 =

Area of square collector 1 =

Area of square collector 2 =

Area of square collector 2 =

Combined area of both collectors = Area of square collector 1 + Area of square collector 2 =

The combined area of both collectors is

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
