Significant figures, you have too many of them.
- dhughes 14y ago13,397 feet
- backprojection 14y ago14,000 feet. Sorry to nitpick! You go with the min of the sigfigs in the expression, which here is 2 = sigfigs(12) < sigfigs(13,397.28) = 7
- dhughes 14y agoHa, don't worry about it. I was thinking it was the significant digits after the decimal. It's always been my weakness calculation-wise. How about 14E3 feet? :P
- backprojection 14y agomuch better!
- dhughes 14y agoOr 1.4E4 to put it in proper scientific notation.
