Significant Figures are used to discuss the level of precision in any measurement. 

Recording Measurements

Concept #1: The more significant figures in a measurement then the more precise it is.

Example #1: Determine the number of significant figures involved in measuring the length of the square.

a) 3 cm                                     

b) 3.2 cm                                   

c) 3.20 cm                                   

d) 3.200 cm

Practice: Read the length of the pencil to the correct number of significant figures.

Practice: What is the correct reading for the liquid in the burette provided below?
