Lesson 1.2:
Recording Measurements

Measuring instruments cannot determine an unlimited


number of digits. They can only determine a certain
number of digits precisely.

Therefore, we use significant figures.

Jane’s weight is 68 kg to the nearest kg. 67.5 < x < 68.5

Rusha’s height is 155 cm to the nearest cm. 154.5 < x < 155.5

Majid ran 100 metres in 11.3 seconds. His time 11.25 < x < 11.35
is measured to the nearest tenth of a second.

Since measurements are approximate,


there is always an error in the measurement results.

measurement error = VA- VE

approximate value exact value

VA- VE
percentage error = x 100%
VE

22/7 is often used as an approximation of 𝜋.

How close does 22/7 approximate 𝜋?


measurement error = 22/7 - 𝜋 = 0.001264...
22/7 approximates 𝜋 to 2 decimal places.

22/7 - 𝜋
percentage error = x 100% = 0.04%
𝜋

*Premature rounding can lead to incorrect answers!

Emma is standing in front of a big tree. She


measures her distance from the tree as AB = 15 cm.
^
She also measures A = 40°. Find the length of BC.
