Question 884858: A square has a side of 6.25 feet. What is the area in square feet? Round to the correct significant digits

Area = length * width
Since all sides of a square are equal, both length and width are 6.25.
6.25 feet * 6.25 feet = 39.0625 square feet.
6.25 has three significant digits.
Rounding 39.0625 to three significant digits is 39.1 square feet
