What is the conversion to square feet of 100 round feet?
"Round feet" is not a common unit of measurement; please explain what you mean by "round feet".
What one what words means the degree to which a measurement is precise and reliable is it variable or accuracy or parameter or constant?
-- None of those words relates to "precise". -- "Accuracy" relates to "reliable". -- "Precision" and "accuracy" are two different things. -- "Precise" does not mean "reliable".
Is 42.3 ounce more precise than 35.6 tons?
Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer: it depends on what you mean by "more precise". Both have three significant figures and to that extend they are equally precise. However, the maximum possible percentage errors in the two measurements are approximately 100*0.05/42.3 = 0.12% and 100*0.05/35.6 = 0.14%, respectively. On that basis, 42.3 ounces is more precise in relative terms. Also, the measurement units are smaller for 42.3 ounces so in absolute terms the measurement is more precise.
What is the definition of the word precise?
If you mean precise. It means to be exact. marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail
Is it possible to get a precise measurement that is not accurate?
Certainly. Precision and accuracy do not mean quite the same thing. All measuring tools need to be recalibrated from time to time against a standard. For instance you can get a very precise reading from a micrometer or vernier gage but if it has not been correctly calibrated the reading will not be accurate.
