Same # of Sig Figs for Cylinder/Wire Density?

do the densities of the cylinder/wire have the same number of dig figs? if u round up the densities of the one that has more significant figures to have the same number of significant figures of the other, are they different?

What densities? Can you give some context? Are you asking about a specific table of values?

Is "they" referring to the densities or the number of significant figures?
