The document contains three math problems involving calculating upper and lower bounds of quantities given to a certain number of significant figures:
1) Calculating the upper bound of the area of a rectangle given the length and width to 2 significant figures.
2) Calculating the lower bound of the perimeter of a rectangle given the length and width to 2 significant figures.
3) Calculating the lower and upper bounds of the time it takes a ball to hit the ground after being dropped from a window, given the height and acceleration due to gravity to a certain number of significant figures.
