Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The width of the microchip is mm. The height of the microchip is mm3. The depth of the microchip is mm4. The volume of the microchip can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is
STEP 2
First, we need to calculate the exact volume of the microchip using the formula.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the width, height, and depth to calculate the volume.
STEP 4
Calculate the exact volume of the microchip.
STEP 5
Write the volume rounded to3 decimal places.
STEP 6
Write the volume rounded to the nearest hundredths.
STEP 7
Write the volume rounded to three significant figures.
STEP 8
Write the answer in the form , where .
STEP 9
