SIGNIFICANT
FIGURES
Significant figures (or significant digits) are the number of
digits in a given value or a measurement, necessary to
decide the accuracy and precision of measurement.
RULES OF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
(1) All non-zero digits are significant.
(2) All zeros in between non-zero digits are significant.
RULES OF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
(3) Zeros on the right of a decimal point and before (or to the left of)
the first non-zero digit are not significant. They only represent the
position of the decimal point.
(4) Zeros on the right of a decimal point are significant, provided
there is no non-zero digit after them.
RULES OF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
(5) Zeros on the right of the last non-zero digit after a decimal
point are significant. So, final zeros or trailing zeros in the decimal
part are significant.
(6) In a measurement value, zeros that occur on the right of the
last non-zero digit are significant.
ROUNDING OFF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
If the digit is lower than 5, the number is rounded off to
the lower number.
If the digit is greater than or equal to 5, the number is
rounded up to the higher number.
Example: How many significant figures are there in 0.04582?
Ans. Four! The four significant digits are 4, 5, 8, and 2.
Round off this number to three significant digits. Ans. 0.0458
Round off this number to two significant digits. Ans. 0.046

The Pythagorean Theorem, also known
as Pythagoras theorem is a
mathematical relation between the 3
sides of a right triangle, a triangle in
which one of 3 angles is 90°. It was
discovered and named after the Greek
philosopher and mathematician of
Samos, Pythagoras.
Consider a right triangle with side lengths 3, 4, 5.

OF ELEVATION
The angle of elevation is the
angle between the horizontal
line and the line of sight which
is above the horizontal line.

OF DEPRESSION
The opposite of the angle of
elevation is the angle of
depression which is formed when
an observer looks downwards.
EXPONENTS
An exponent is a mathematical notation that
represents how many times a number, called the
base, is multiplied by itself.
