a) (3.142*1.95)/6*(3*5.44^2+1.95^2)
(power 2, divisor 6, multiplier 3)
b) (3.142*1.234)/12*( 0.424^2+0.424*0.951+0.951^2)
(power 2 and divisor 12)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
a)My calculator gives me 94.5414368
So I think 94.5 should be the answer since 1.95 has the least number of significant figures- three. My book, though, says it is 94.54
b) The calculator gives 0.4805827337
So my answer is 0.480 because 0.424 and 0.951 each have only 3 sig figs- least number of sig figures. But my book says the answer is 0.4806
Please, show me where I am wrong.
Thanks.
