3.21 x 3.21 != 10.3041 is only accurate to 10.30.


correct me if I am wrong, but as I remember it 3.21 x 3.21 is only

accurate to
one decimal because the factors are accurate to only 1 place. I am pretty

sure
of that but it has been a while since I worried about "precision" and

"double
precision" numbers.
