Answer 1

The longest possible length with the appropriate level of precision for a measurement of 34.2 meters is 34.25 meters.

This is because the original measurement (34.2 meters) suggests that the last digit (2) is precise to one decimal place, and to reflect a similar level of precision while expanding the length, the next logical figure would be 34.25 meters.

So, the correct answer is 34.25.
