A 100 mL graduated cylinder is graded in divisions of 1 mL giving results which have 2 significant figures. Cylinders for measuring up to 10 mL to have divisions at 0.1 mL, so again giving 2 sig figs.2 digits. .
Three - all nonzero numbers are significant.
In order to determine the number of significant figures in a number, you need to look at the non-zero digits and any zeros between them.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
20.2 has three significant figures.

You can typically measure the volume of a liquid with a graduated cylinder up to two decimal places or hundredths of a milliliter accuracy, depending on the resolution of the cylinder's scale.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
3 of them.
First weigh a graduated cylinder. Then add the liquid. Then... Take away the figures and there you have it.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
4 of them.
1.056ml has four significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
Significant figures in a number are all the non-zero digits and zeros between them that are significant for the precision of the measurement. To determine the significant figures in a number, count all the non-zero digits and any zeros between them. Trailing zeros after a decimal point are also significant figures.
