Length and Length related Variables

Length can de defined as the measurement or extent of physical quantities or objects from one terminal to another terminal. Stone age humans used finger length, step length, and so on to measure the size or displacement of an object. Nowadays, depending on how precise the measurement requires to be and the object’s size is measured, we use measuring devices for measurements like rulers and steel tape. Most people have used a ruler or tape measure to measure a particular distance or the size of an object. For more precise measurements of tiny objects, the development of measurement tools such as the Vernier caliper, which permits us to measure dimensions within 1/1000 of an inch. In the last few decades, electronic distance measuring instruments (EDMI) have been implemented that permit us to measure distances from a few feet to many miles with reasonable accuracy.

You're a new engineer reviewing length measurements from a land surveying project. You're suspicious about a length measurement recorded as 300 ft. With no decimal point or notation, you're not sure whether or not the two trailing zero's are significant. You inquire with the survey crew who performed the measurement and found that the recorded value was taken by experienced surveyors using an instrument accurate to two-tenths of a foot and calibrated the morning of the survey. Based on the information you have, which of the following scientific notation expressions would best represent the accuracy of the length measurement? Group of answer choices 3.00E2 ft 3E2 ft 3.0E2 ft
