Question

A shipping container is known to hold exactly 1000 ft3. If the container is measured, which side dimensions would produce the most accurate measurement of the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 ft by 10 ft by 10 ft works, but there are other solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many solutions.

One solution is 10 ft by 10 ft by 10 ft.

The volume then is:

10 ft * 10 ft * 10 ft = 1000 ft^3

Answer 2

Answer:

9.9 x 10.1 x 10.0

Step-by-step explanation:

9.9 x 10.1 x 10.0 = 999.9 ft3

This the closest to the true known value.

Other answers mat be more precise, but not as accurate.

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual or true value.
