All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.

When is zero significant?
A.when its between two digitsB.When it is right to the right of the decimal and it follows a non-zero digit.
Is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point and do it follows a non-zero digit?
If I understand this convoluted sentence correctly, then think it is true.
Is considered a significant digit when it is to the right of the decimal point it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits?
I'll assume you're asking about zeros. Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. In the other two cases they could be, but are not necessarily significant.
Who invented the idea of extending decimal places to right of the decimal point?
It is not a question of invention. The procedure follows from the fact that a decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right.
Zeros are always considered significant digits when they are to the right of the decimal point and when they are between the decimal point and another digit as in 13.04.?
That is correct.
Is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point and it follows a non-zero digit or when it is betwee two digits?
Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.

Is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point?
It can be.
What is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or right decimal point and it follows a nonzero digit?
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.
Is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point and it follows a nonzero digit or where. It is between two digit?
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.

Write 5748 to 2 significant figures?
A significant figure is the number of digits to the left of the decimal place from the right most non zero digit to the left most digit, or the number of digits from the right most digit to the right of the decimal place to the left most digit. So, 5748 to two significant digits is 5700
