Yes it is possible. 21.354 inches is very precise but could be inaccurate.

∙ 10y agoWhat determines how precise a measurement is
because of the mass
The term "precise" refers to the range of measurement to which a value is calculated. The term "accurate" implies that the measurement value is essentially correct, to within some range of error.However, the terms are often used synonymously, since "precise" has the desired quality of being exact, which in some cases is a separate concept from accuracy.
Is as exact as possible
Synonyms of "specific" and "precise" include accurate, detailed, explicit, stringent or rigorous. A precise measurement is one made with well-maintained equipment and using the correct methods in a careful manner.
What determines how precise a measurement is
The measurement that is accurate is one that is precise. These are also commonly titled accurate measurements in the books.
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
An automatically measurement has a higher precision than a manually measurement.
You can make a very precise measurement with a poorly calibrated device.

The word accurate is a synonym for precise. So the most accurate (or precise) answer would be 57.213 because it is more accurate if the number is not rounded.
yes
because they are both a reliable measurement and is both accurate and precise
