Explanation:

If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

<em>Additional comment</em>

50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.

A rectangular field is four times as long as it is wide. if the perimeter of the field is 340 yards, what are the field's dime

zmey [24]

Let the width of the field = x.
Then the length = 4x
Now the perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width, so we have the equation:-
2*4x + 2x = 340
8x + 2x = 340
10x = 340
x = 34 yards = width
4x = length = 136
Answer: the width is 34 yards and length is 136 yards.
