If a circular piece of tin has a measured radius of 2.6 cm . What is circumference ?

Answer»

Solution :`r=2.6cm`
Circumference of circular dise = `2pir=2xx3.1428xx2.6`
Here `2.6`has onley 2 significant DIGITS. Hence in the above multiplication `PI` VALUE should be written with `2+1=3` significant FIGURES.
`pi=3.1428=3.14`
Circumference `=2xx3.14xx2.6=16.328`
This is to be rounded off to 2 significant digits.
the result is 16.
