\(\sqrt{(6.00^2)+(9.00^2)}\\ =\sqrt{6^2+9^2}\\ = \sqrt{117}\\ \approx 10.8\left(\text{Corrected to 3 sig. fig.}\right)\)

I assume that is 3 sig. fig.

If it is 1 sig. fig. that is 10

2 sig. fig. that is 10 also

3 sig. fig. answer written above

4 sig. fig. that is 10.82

5 sig. fig. that is 10.817
