Answer:

0.05 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The least-significant digit in the given measurement is the one in the 0.1 cm number place. The "greatest possible error" is half the value of that number place, so is ...

(0.1 cm)/2 = 0.05 cm . . . . "greatest possible error"

_____

For questions of this sort, we make the (not always practical) assumption that the measurement is rounded perfectly to the nearest 0.1 cm.

- Let y represent the width of a rectangle and let x represent the rectangle's lengu.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Length: 21 cm and Width: 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y$ be the width and $x$ length of the rectangle. We know:

$x = 4y -3$ -------- eq. 1

$54 = 2x + 2y$ (Perimeter of the rectangle) ------- eq. 2

Substitute equation 1 in equation 2:

$54 = 2(4y-3) + 2y\\54 = 8y - 6 + 2y\\54 + 6 = 8y + 2y\\60 = 10 y\\\\\frac{60}{10}= y\\y = 6$

Using the value of y, we find x.

$x = 4y - 3\\x = 4(6) -3\\x= 24 - 3\\x = 21$
