Give your answer to 2 significant figures.)

本题详细解析: The sides of the rectangle are 1. l;rr/ asg x4l1phht 2d4krn$(5.0 \pm 0.5) \mathrm{cm}$ and $(12.0 \pm 1.0) \mathrm{cm}$. Note that the length of the long side of the rectangle is calculated using two separate length calculations, each with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.5 \mathrm{~cm}$, giving a total uncertainty of $\pm 1.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ for that side.
The fractional uncertainty on the area will be:
$\frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{0.5}{5.0}+\frac{1.0}{12.0}=0.18$
The area of the rectangle is:
$A=5.0 \times 12.0=60 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
so the absolute uncertainty on the area is:
$\Delta A=0.18 \times 60=11 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
