Answer the following questions in the text boxes provided.

1. Show the steps in your calculation of the average of Mass 1.








2. Input the Averages of Mass 1 and Mass 2 in the table above.

3. Input the Rounded Averages of the Masses according to the rule of sig. digs.
into the table above.



Mass 1:
12.5+12.4+12.3+12.4=49.6
A=49.6/4
A=12.4

Mass 2:
23.5+23.5+23.8+23.6=94.4
A=94.4/4
A=23.6
4. Show the steps in your calculation of the average of Volume 1.





4. Input the averages of Volume 1 and Volume 2 in the table above.

5. Input the averages of Volume 1 and Volume 2 in the table above.

6. Input the Rounded Averages of Volume 1 and Volume 2 according to the rule of
sig. digs.

7. Calculate the Averages for the remaining columns and the Rounded Average
according to the rules of sig. digs. and input them into the table above.

8. Show the steps in your calculation of Density 1.






9. Input the rounded values for Density 1 and Density 2.



10. Show the steps in your calculation of Area 1, using average Length 1 and
average Width 1.







Volume 1:
19.400+19.335+19.265+19.420=72.44
A=72.42/4
A=19.36

D=12.4/19.36
D=155/242
Density 1 = 155/242 Density 2 =4720/7469
A1=5.1325*2.16
A= 11.0862
Volume 2: 37.345


11. Input the rounded values for Area 1 and Area 2.



12. Show your steps in the calculation of Height 1, using the values of average
Volume 1 and average Area 1.








13. Input the rounded values for Height 1 and Height 2.




















Area 1 = 11.0862 Area 2 =12.0375
H1=A/length
H1=11.0862/5.1325
H1=2.16
Height 1 =2.16 Height 2 =11.88r
