2. Write the square root of 45 to:
a) 2 decimal places
b) 2 significant figures

6.71, and 6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write to two decimal places, we must first calculate the square root of 45.

The square root of 45 is 6.708

Therefore, when we round, we get 6.71

In order to write to two sig figs, we remember that sig figs are the number digits without zeros on the end.

Therefore, all we take is the 6.7

a) 6.71

b) 6.7
