What is the best decimal approximation for the square root of 82?
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.
In order to make sense a measurement always have a what and a what?
-- number -- unit
What two things does a measurement statement always contain?
useful
When going from larger to smaller units of measurement do you always divide?
No, never.
How many feet is in 3 thousand cubits?
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.
What is approximation error?
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.
What is the closeness of a measurement to the true value of what is being measured?
Approximation
What reflects how close a measurement is to the true value of the thing being measured?
Approximation
In a measurementwhich digits isare an approximation?
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.
When is a measurment accurate?
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.
What metric measurement would you use to measure the length of a golf tee?
An approximation could be made in centimeters, although it might not be exact.
What is the best decimal approximation for the square root of 82?
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.
What are the methods of minimizing the effects of errors in measurement?
Always repeat the measurement for reliability . Measurement should always be seen up front and not sideways. Use a new scale for better readings.
Data always numerical measurement?
The answer is false
When do you use standard forms of measurement?
Always.
Does length mean measurement?
Yes but not always.
In a measurement which digits are approximation?
It means that only an idea of an object is exactly whatever value a measurement gives. There are so many more never ending decimal numbers like pi than there are decimals of finite length like 0.5 that there is a zero chance that the object which was measured to be 0.5 units is actually that value. However far you zoom in, there is always room to improve the observation by zooming in more.
