This question comes from my Grade 11 Univ. Physics Teacher.
Problem: To as many significant figures as you can justify, determine the thickness of the aluminium foil.
1. Purpose
2. Procedure
3. Calculations (Significant Figures)
4. Conclucion
Now I know that the density of Aluminium is 2.7g/cm^3.
And I also know that the formula for cm^3 is Length X Width X Thickness.
So if i find the mass, multiply it by the density, and divide it by the length and the width, will I come out with the thickness?
He said there are many ways to do this and this is the only one I could come up with so any input or help would be much appreciated.

Patrick
