Multiply or divide the following measurements. Be sure each answer you enter contains the correct number of significant digits.



0.934cm x 0.325 cm = cm2

To multiply the measurements \(0.934 \, \text{cm}\) and \(0.325 \, \text{cm}\), follow these steps:

1. **Multiply the numbers:**

\[
0.934 \times 0.325 = 0.30355 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

2. **Determine the number of significant digits:**
   - \(0.934\) has **3 significant digits**.
   - \(0.325\) also has **3 significant digits**.

3. **Round the result to the correct number of significant digits:**
   - The result \(0.30355\) should be rounded to **3 significant digits**.

\[
\text{Rounded result} = 0.304 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

So, the final answer is **0.304 cm²**.
