if i have a sqaure of length 0.200m, is its volume 0.040 or 0.0400 mcubed?
The latter: 4.00 x 10-2 mp2. Since the orginal measurement had 2 three significant figures so must the answer.Mattofix said:sorry, i meant the area of a square, ok, so if 2.00 x 10-1 m is its length, would its area be 4.00 x 10-2 m2 or 4.0 x 10-2 m2?
The formula for finding the volume of a 0.200m sided square is V = s^3, where s is the length of one side of the square.
The length of one side of a square can be measured using a ruler or measuring tape. Make sure to measure from one end of the side to the other in a straight line.
The unit for volume in this calculation is cubic meters (m^3), since we are measuring in meters and the formula involves cubing the length of one side.
The number 0.200m represents the length of one side of the square in meters. This number is important because it is used in the formula to calculate the volume of the square.
Yes, this formula can be used for calculating the volume of any square regardless of the side length. However, the unit of measurement must remain consistent (e.g. all measurements in meters or all measurements in centimeters).
