The sides of a small rectangular box are measured to be 1.70 ± 0.01 cm, 2.05 ± 0.06 cm, and 3.5 ± 0.1 cm long.?
Calculate its volume and uncertainty in cubic centimeters. (Express your answers to the correct number of significant figures and proper units.)

Volume without uncertainty = 1.70 x 2.05 x 3.5 = 12.2 cm³
Max volume = (1.70 + 0.01)*(2.05+0.06)*(3.5+0.1) = 13.0 cm³
Min volume = (1.70 - 0.01)*(2.05 - 0.06)*(3.5-0.1) = 11.4 cm³
Volume with uncertainty = 12.2 ± 0.08 cm³
