Things like using a finger joint length for inches or a little bigger than your foot for feet.
I assume that the most inaccurate version of pi would have been plain 4 or 3.2 from the Indiana General Assembly of 1897.
scale
1728 is a pure number. Without units it has no meaning in volumetric measurements.
A formula is an equation that expresses a relationship between measurements.

You get inaccurate measurements.
It is important for the liquid in the thermometer to be uniform for accurate measurements. If a thermometer is not calibrated properly, it will detect measurements in temperatures that are inaccurate.
precision
Leveling in surveying is important to get an accurate measurement. The rise and fall of the grade will cause the measurements to be off, resulting in an inaccurate measurement of plots of land.
Because we don't want to educate the public with random inaccurate information. In other words, we don't want our work to be called misleading crap. What people are looking for is factual and precise material to learn from. Which is why proper measurements and NEEDED in scientific works.
inaccurate calibration insufficient control of the independent variable poor measurement techniques difficulties in reading measurements (low light, vibration, etc.) insufficient precision in measurement ambiguities in what is being measured measurement bias question bias failure to control other important variables that are not being measured (in the case of electronic measurements) interference or static
A group of precise measurements are a group of repetitive measurements that are very close together. Ie the standard deviation between the measurements is small. Not to be confused with a accurate measurement! Think about it like this, if you measure a piece of wood 5 times and each time you get an identical answer then the measurement are said to be precise. If however if turns out that despite measuring the length 5 times and getting the same answer you discover that the length is significantly off from the "true" answer, then you were inaccurate!
the lyrics to that song were inaccurate.
approx 11.37% of The Help is inaccurate
That is the correct spelling of "inaccurate" (not correct, or not precise).
inaccurate is the opposite of accurate, it means you are wrong.
antonym for "accurate" would be imprecise; inexact; inaccurate; incorrect; off the mark;
