Neither measurement is more "accurate" than the other--they simply denote different things. Length is a measurement of the distance between two points in space. Area is a measurement of the surface covered by a given shape.

No measurement can be more reliable or accurate than the instrument used to make the measurement?
True
Which measurement is more precise 57 57.2 57.21 or 57.213?
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.
Is measuring the femur bone in an ultrasound an accurate way to give you an estimated time of conception?
The best person to ask is the person doing the ultrasound. Having said that here are a few guidelines. Ultrasounds can give you a fairly accurate time for the length of the pregnancy. Before 10 weeks the measurement taken is crown-rump length, from the top of the head to the bottom of the spine. This is accurate to within 3-4 days. After about 12 weeks several measurements are taken, head circumference, head diameter and abdominal diameter as well as femur length and the results are plotted on a graph to compare with the estimated length of pregnancy. The earlier the measurements are taken the more accurate they are in assessing the length of the pregnancy.
Why does one inch in an offical rain gauge actually measure only one tenth of an inch of rain?
Because area of the opening of the collector is ten times the area of the measuring tube (it is a funnel). This provides for more accurate measurement of small amounts of rain.
The mass of abody measured by two persons is 10.2kg and 10.23kgwhich is more accurately measured and why?
The "10.23" measurement is more precise, but we have no way of knowing which one is more accurate.
Why do you think accurate measurement of time became possible much after accurate measurement of length and mass?
Accurate measurements of time become possible after accurate measurement of length and mass because time taken by a heavy body to move a certain distance is more,and time taken by a light body to move a certain distance is less.
How measurement is differ from counting?
It is different because you do not need a ruler or anything to count. It is also much more accurate.
Why did the need for measurement develop?
For more accurate readings of measurement.
What measurement is more precise and accurate?
What determines how precise a measurement is
Using a metric ruler student x measured the length of an object to the nearest tenth while student y measure the length to the nearest centimeter which measurement is more accurate?
There are 100 centimeters in a meter. The second student (y) would be more accurate.
Is it more accurate to measure an object to the nearest tenth 0.1 of a centimeter or to the nearest centimeter Which measurement is more accuret?
The smaller the measurement, the more accurate.
The smaller the unit the measurement will be what?
The smaller the unit the more accurate the measurement will be.
What is more accurate a measurement given in centimeters or millimeters?
Millimeters are smaller so if a measurement is given in mm it is likely to be more accurate than a measurement given in cm. However, it's important to note that neither mm nor cm is inherently more accurate.
No measurement can be more reliable or accurate than the instrument used to make the measurement?
True
What is the different between 7.5 and 7.50 in measurement?
7.50 is a more accurate measurement than 7.5.
Were the early systems of measurement as accurate as those you use today?
No. The early systems of measurement were not as accurate as those I use today. The systems of measurement I use today are substantially more accurate than the early systems of bygone days were.
Is a measurement of centimeters more accurate than with inches?
Yes.
