Now that we know what a sig. digit is….

How do we use it in calculations?????

Page 3: Sig. Fig.’s in Calculations!

Addition/subtraction and

multiplication/divisionFull answers…But are these significant?

2.5cm + 2.25cm= 4.75cm

4cm x 8.332cm = 33.328cm2

Page 4: Sig. Fig.’s in Calculations!

Addition/ subtraction:

The number of significant digits can be determined by the largest uncertainty.

What does this mean??

Page 5: Sig. Fig.’s in Calculations!

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??

Page 8: Sig. Fig.’s in Calculations!

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 =

Page 10: Sig. Fig.’s in Calculations!

You try these: Remember Units!!!!!!

28.665 cm

15.2cm

17.882 cm

Find: Volume, Perimeter, Area

Answers

Volume:7791.330456 cm3

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
