Can an object that when measured to the nearest quarter inch have a different length then when measured to the nearest half inch?
Yes, of course, you lose more precision if you round to a half inch. Try rounding 0.76 to the nearest half unit, and to the nearest quarter unit, and see what happens.
Can an object be 3 inches in length when measured to both the nearest inch and nearest half inch?
Of course. That's true of any object that'sat least 2.5" and less than 3.5" long.
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.
What is a solid's shape and volume?
A solid is a 3 dimensional object having length, width and height. Its volume measured in cubic units is length*width*height
Why is a solid figure measured in cubic units?
The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.
