Match the following numbers with the correct number of significant digits they possess. answers may repeat. (4 points) ( )172 ( )450.0 x 10^3 ( )3427 ( )0.0000455 ( )0.00456 ( )2205.2 ( )107.20 ( )0.0473 a. 4 b. 3 c. 5

(B. 3) 172 All nonzero digits are significant.

(A. 4) 450.0 x 10^3 Trailing zeroes after the decimal point are significant.

(A. 4) 3427 All nonzero digits are significant.

(B. 3) 0.0000455 Leading zeroes are not significant.

(B. 3) 0.00456 Leading zeroes are not significant.

(C. 5) 2205.2 Zeroes between nonzero digits are significant.

(C. 5) 107.20 Trailing zeroes after the decimal point are significant.

(B. 3) 0.0473 Leading zeroes are not significant.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
