Calculate the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 5.6 cm, a width of 2.1 cm, and a height of 6.6 cm. Enter your answer by using dimensions of volume and round to two significant figures. I've tried everything from 77 cm^2 to 78 cm^2. Please help.

Calculating the VOLUME results in a value of 77.616.
To 2 significant figures, this rounds to highlight_green%2878_cm%5E3%29, not cm%5E2
cm%5E2 for AREA, and cm%5E3 for VOLUME.
