the length of YZ that is rounded to 3 significant figures using XY = 3.2cm. XZ = 1.7cm is 1.50 cm
Given : XY = 3.2cm. XZ = 1.7cm.
We need to calculate the length of YZ
From the given information we can see that Z lies between X and Y
So we add XZ and ZY to get XY
[tex]XZ+ZY=XY[/tex]
Substitute the given values and solve for YZ
[tex]XZ+ZY=XY\\1.7+ZY=3.2\\Subtract \; 1.7\\ZY=3.2-1.7\\ZY=1.5[/tex]
Round the answer to 3 significant figures.
After rounding to 3 significant figures , the length of YZ=1.50 cm
