Question

For exercises 1-4. use the drawing and an inch ruler to find the actual length and width of each section of the park. Measure to the nearest eighth of an inch. What is the scale factor of the park plan?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isaiah Let's solve this by rewriting the actual measurements the two boys have with their uncertainties. Krisann has a measuring tape to the nearest quarter inch. So his measurement may be off by half that, or and eighth of an inch. So his measurement is 27.75 ± 0.125. Isaiah has a measuring tape to the nearest eighth inch. So his measurement may be off by up to a sixteenth of an inch. So his measurement is 27.75 ± 0.0625 Now which is more precise, 27.75 ± 0.125, or 27.75 ± 0.0625? The answer is pretty obvious with 27.75 ± 0.0625 being the more precise measurement. And that value is from Isaiah.
