How many significant figures in the number 20?
Significant digits refer to the number of digits that are known versus the number of digits that are estimated. So if the number 20 is an approximation, there is only one significant digit, which is the 2. However, if 20 is accurate to the ones place, then there are 2 significant digits. 20.00 has four significant digits, because it is known that the number is accurate down to the hundredths place.
Is it true that in an answer that has four significant figures two are estimated and two are known?
False, one is estimated and three are known
What are the first 1000000000000000000000000000000000000 numbers in pie?
That many digits are not known. Even the known digits are so many that it is not practical - nor useful - to list them.
Highest number known to man?
The biggest number known is googolplex which can be measured as = 10(10100) or 1010,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000 Thinking of this another way, consider printing the digits of a googolplex in unreadable, one-point font. One-point font is 0.35145989 mm per digit, so it would take about 3.5 × 1096 meters to write a googolplex in one-point font. The observable universe is estimated to be 8.80 × 1026 meters, or 93 billion light-years in diameter so the distance required to write the necessary zeroes is longer than the estimated universe, so it would not be possible, let alone physically possible to write this number. If i helped please contribute to me :)

What are the disadvantages of the pole placement technique?
The only problem with this technique is that more states are required to be known. These states can be either measured or estimated.
What are pi's known digits?

What number of digits by which a series of number is known with a degree of reliability?
Significant digits.
What is an estimated digit?
Suppose you have a variable whose exact value is not known. Repeated estimations give values which match up to a certain degree but beyond that they are different. You could take some sort of [weighted] average of the leading digits of these different parts and your estimate for the variable wold be the matched part with the estimated digit appended.For example, if you Google "mass of proton" the WIkipedia site give it as ‎1.672621898(21)×10−27 kg. The (21) - in parentheses - indicates that those two digits are estimated.
Is it true that in an answer that has four significant figures two are estimated and two are known?
False, one is estimated and three are known
