Chapter 6: Q16E (page 1435)

-Express each approximation of p to six significant figures: (a) 22/7 and (b) 355/113. (c) Are these approximations accurate to that precision?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer is Missing in the Documents.

Step by step solution

01

(Calculation of22/7)

(a)Find 22/7 upto 6 significant digits.

22/7=3.14286

02

Step2(calculation of 355/113 )

( b)Find 355/113 upto 6 significant digits

355/113=3.14159

03

Step3(Conclusion)

Check whether the result is accurate with actual value if pie

Actual value ofπ 3.14159.So, the result of 355/113 is same as that of the true value of pieπ.

22/7 is accurate up to 3 digits only.
