The length of a piece of timber is measured to be 17.43m using a ruler. What is the upper bound of the largest possible length of this rope?
Since the length of the timber is measured to be 17.43m, we can assume that the actual length of the timber is 17.43m ± 0.01m.
To find the upper bound of the largest possible length of the rope, we add the maximum possible variation (± 0.01m) to the measured length:
17.43m + 0.01m = 17.44m
Therefore, the upper bound of the largest possible length of the rope is 17.44m.
