Answer 1

The measurement of 34.2 meters is given with three significant figures. The longest possible length that maintains this precision would be the upper limit of the range for that measurement.

Since the last digit "2" signifies that the measurement could be as high as 34.25 meters (but not including 34.25 itself), the appropriate response is:

34.25
