Answer:

You need to know the accuracy to which you can read the ruler:

Suppose that you can read the read the ruler to the nearest milimeter

A = L * W     your calculated area of the rectangle

A + ΔA = (L + ΔL) * (W + ΔW) = L W + L ΔW + W * ΔL + ΔL ΔA

Or ΔA =  L ΔW + W ΔL

Where we have subtracted A = L * W and the term ΔL * ΔA is very small

So (5 + .1) * (2 + .1) - 5 * 2 = .1 * 2 + .1 * 5 = .7 cm^2

Then you report A = 10 cm^2 +- .7 cm^2    including the - sign for completeness

leonid [27]
Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.
