Just a little guidance on this

I got 78 but not sure on the units
each dimension is cm cm * cm * cm = cm^3 as your units
also i got 78 using a calc could you explain to me how it would be 78? like sig figs?
plugging in the digits, you get 77.616 exactly. this # has 5 sig figs. since each dimensions only has two sig figs, the answer must only has two sig figs so we round to 78
if you need some help identifying sig figs I wrote a tutorial a while ago about it: - identify the first nonzero digit and the last nonzero digit, and include all the digits in between, inclusive ex. 00105.4 has only 4 significant digits (the leading zero's do not count) - leading zero's are not significant - trailing zero's are not significant in a whole # but are significant in decimal #'s ex. 10540 only has 4 significant digits (the trailing zero does not count) but 1054.0 has 5 significant digits (the trailing zero after a decimal pt. does count). 1050 has 3 significant figures while 1050. has 4 (notice the decimal point after the last 0)
okay so if I were to want one sig fig and I had the number 4.6. I would stick to 5?
yes
