Hi everyone for this problem. It reads how many significant numbers for the volume of the metal bar and the illustration should be reported. Okay, So we have a metal bar and it has three dimensions. So here we have a volume and volume is signified by with with times length, times height. Okay, so our operation for this is multiplication. And remember there's different rules based off of what operation you're doing. And so because our rule here is operation, the dimension with the lowest significant Figures indicates the number of significant figures of the product. And so here for our 6.79, this is three significant figures. For 1.50. This is two significant figures. Okay? And for 1.40, this is also two significant figures. Alright, so for multiplication, the lowest significant figures indicates the number of significant figures of the products. So our answer here is going to be two significant numbers. Okay. For our product. So that's it for this problem. I hope this was helpful.
