To determine which of the given measurements has three significant digits, we need to analyze each option:
1. **134 meters** - This has three significant digits (1, 3, and 4).
2. **56.09 inches** - This has four significant digits (5, 6, 0, and 9).
3. **0.52 centimeters** - This has two significant digits (5 and 2). The leading zero does not count as significant.
4. **8009 miles** - This has four significant digits (8, 0, 0, and 9), as all non-zero numbers and captive zeros (zeros between significant numbers) are counted.
