Sig. Fig.’s in Calculations!
Now that we know what a sig. digit is….
How do we use it in calculations?????
Addition/subtraction and
multiplication/divisionFull answers…But are these significant?
2.5cm + 2.25cm= 4.75cm
4cm x 8.332cm = 33.328cm2
Addition/ subtraction:
The number of significant digits can be determined by the largest uncertainty.
What does this mean??
Multiplication/Division:
The number with the smallest amount (number) of significant figures determines the amount of significant figures in the answer of the calculation.

What is the smallest number??
1) 2.3 cm X 12 cm=
2) 4528 g X 15 g =
3) 13.258 ml + 254 ml =
4) 14.5 cm – 4 cm =
5) 25 ml / 5 ml =
Lets try with calculating: Area
PerimeterVolume
Area: Length x width =
Perimeter: length + length + width + width =
Volume: Length x Width x height =
You try these: Remember Units!!!!!!
28.665 cm
15.2cm
17.882 cm
Find: Volume, Perimeter, Area

Remember Sig. Fig’s!! = 7.80 x103 cm3
Perimeter: 87.73 cmRemember Sig. Fig’s!! = 87.7 cm
Area: 435.708 cm2
Remember Sig. Fig’s!! = 4.36 x102 cm2
