Why do you need standard measurements?
We need standard measurements because it helps us to find the measurements of things.
Why do you use significant digits when dealing with measurements?
Measurements need to be specific so we use significant digits.
What two measurements must you use to find an accurate measurements?

What are the different kinds system of measurement in mathematics?
There are two main systems of measurements in mathematics, metric and US standard. Metric measurements are terms like centimeters, and US standard includes inches and feet.
What is the difference between customary measurements and the metric measurements?

Does the us use Si measurements?
Sort of. US measurements are now for the most part defined in terms of SI units. Also, a few SI units such as "seconds" are used directly.

What can you measure length in?
In the SAE, Imperial and US Customary systems, we normally use inches, feet, yards and miles. In the metric system, used in all scientific measurements, we use various degrees of the meter, including the millimeter, centimeter and meter for larger measurements and divisions such as the nanometer (one billionth of a meter) for microscopic measurements. For atomic and molecular sized measurements, we use angstrom units (one ten billionth of a meter).
Why do you use significant digits when dealing with measurements?
Measurements need to be specific so we use significant digits.
