What are the rules for determining significant figures when adding and multiplying measurements?

When adding or subtracting measurements, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places. When multiplying or dividing measurements, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.


What length is longer 3000mm or 0.03m?

In such problems, you should convert everything to the same unit - in this case, to millimeters or to meters. Then it should be easy to compare the two measurements.

Does a rectangle have diagonals of equal length?

Yes. Because pythagoreans theorem is used to get them by the same method using the same measurements.


How many significant figures should be retained when performing addition and subtraction operations involving measurements with different numbers of significant figures?

When performing addition and subtraction operations with measurements of different significant figures, the result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.

Which decimal is the same as 300ml?

300 ml is a measure of volume. A decimal is a number - pure and simple - neither mass, nor volume, neither length not time. So there is no decimal that is the same as 300 ml.

Are the 12cm and 12.0cm the same measurements?

Yes. They are merely rounded differently. 12.0cm is rounded to 1 decimal place, and is therefore more accurate.


What are the length and width measurements of a square with an area of 18in?

That's wrong; 18 inch is not a unit of area. In general, since in a square the length and width are the same, you take the square root of the area, to get the length of a side.
