Concept:Significant figures are the digits in a number that carry meaningful value towards its magnitude.To round to three significant figures, keep the first three non-zero digits from the left and round off based on the next digit.Explanation:Given number: $7352.4658$First three significant digits are $7$, $3$, and $5$.The next digit after these three digits is $2$.Since $2 < 5$, the third significant digit remains $5$.Replace all remaining digits after the third significant figure with zeros up to the decimal point.Thus, $7352.4658$ becomes $7350$.Answer:$7352.4658 = 7350$ correct to three significant figures.Option C: $7350$
