Is significant figure important for atomic radius calculations?

> Calculate the radius of a vanadium atom, given that V has **BCC crystal structure**, a density of $\pu{5.96 g/cm^3}$, and an atomic weight of $\pu{50.9g/mol}$.

What if we solve this question with $3$ significant figures and $5$ significant figures? What will be different?
