There is no "best" approximation. The square root is irrational and so it is a non-terminating, non-recurring decimal so adding one more digit will always make it a better approximation.

No, never.
The modernday approximation of the cubit is 1.5 feet. Based upon this measurement, 3000 cubits is equal to 3000 x 1.5 = 4500 feet.
An approximation error is the discrepancy between an exact value and the approximation to it. This occurs when the measurement of something is not precise.

There are no standards of measurements. A measurement is an approximation or an estimation of an exact value. A number is an exact value such as one pencil or two cars.
In a measurement the digits that are an approximation are only those in proper scientific notation. The more digits that are added to the number the more the number becomes exact.
Never: A measurement made is always an approximation. We can get very close to being accurate with our measurements, but never fully 100% accurate. This is not the fault of the person measuring, or what tool they are using to measure with, but it is a natural law that we (anyone, even superior aliens to humans) cannot ever fully make an absolutely accurate measurement.
An approximation could be made in centimeters, although it might not be exact.

Always repeat the measurement for reliability . Measurement should always be seen up front and not sideways. Use a new scale for better readings.
The answer is false
Yes but not always.
Always.
