Problem 10

Determine the accuracy (i.e., the number of significant figures) of number. $$ 0.085 $$

Problem 15

Determine the accuracy (i.e., the number of significant figures) of number. $$ 8,0 \overline{0} 0 $$

Problem 18

Round number so that it has the indicated number of significant figures. $$ 21,837 \text { (three sig figs) } $$

Problem 25

Round number so that it has the indicated number of significant figures. Be sure to include trailing zeros or an overbar if necessary. $$ 13,997 \text { (four sig figs) } $$

Problem 30

The mountain we know as Mt. Everest is called Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet. On December \(8,2020,\) it was jointly announced by Nepal and China that the summit has an elevation of \(29,031.69 \mathrm{ft}\), replacing the previously accepted elevation of 29,029 \(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\). $$ \text { Round } 29,031.69 \mathrm{ft} \text { to three sig figs. } $$

Problem 33

The mountain we know as Mt. Everest is called Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet. On December \(8,2020,\) it was jointly announced by Nepal and China that the summit has an elevation of \(29,031.69 \mathrm{ft}\), replacing the previously accepted elevation of 29,029 \(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\). $$ \text { Round } 29,031.69 \mathrm{ft} \text { to six sig figs. } $$
