(a)
Interpretation:
The length of leg has to be estimated and expressed in metric units.
Concept Introduction:
Metric prefix is the one which follows a basic unit of measurement in order to indicate fraction or multiple of the units. There are seven SI base units. From these base units all the other units can be derived. Prefix is used to indicate the value in power of 10. This is a physical quantity and it is known as SI prefix. The seven base units are meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, mole, ampere, and candela. Some of the prefix are mega, kilo, deci, centi etc.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reasonable height of a three-story building has to be given.
