Report the longest possible length with the appropriate level of precision for the measurement of 34.2 m 34.25 29.235.25 33.7

1 answer

To determine the longest possible length with the appropriate level of precision, we'll follow these steps:

  1. Identify Measurements: We have the following measurements:

    • \(34.2, m\)
    • \(34.25, m\)
    • \(29.235, m\)
    • \(33.7, m\)
  2. Determine Precision of Each Measurement:

    • \(34.2, m\) has 1 decimal place.
    • \(34.25, m\) has 2 decimal places.
    • \(29.235, m\) has 3 decimal places.
    • \(33.7, m\) has 1 decimal place.
  3. Find the Longest Measurement: The longest measurement among these is \(34.25, m\).

  4. Consider Appropriate Precision: To report a result with appropriate precision based on the measurements, we use the measurement with the highest precision, which in this case is \(34.25, m\) (2 decimal places).

  5. Report the Result: Therefore, the longest possible length with the appropriate level of precision is:

\[ \text{Longest Length} = 34.25, m \]

Thus, the answer is \(34.25, m\).
