उत्तर
The length and breadth of a rectangular sheet are 16.2 cm and 10.1cm, respectively. The area of the sheet in appropriate significant figures and error is `underline(164 ± 3 cm^2)`.
Explanation:
Given, Length `l = (16.2 +- 0.1)` cm
Breadth `b = (10.1 +- 0.1)` cm
Area = `A = l xx b`
= (16.2 cm) × (10.1 cm)
= 163.62 cm2
Rounding off to three significant digits, area A = 164 cm2
`(ΔA)/A = (Δl)/l + (Δb)/b = 0.1/16.2 + 0.1/10.1`
= `(1.01 + 1.62)/(16.2 xx 10.1)`
= `2.63/163.62`
⇒ `ΔA = A xx 2.63/163.62`
= `163.62 xx 2.63/163.62`
= 2.63 cm2
ΔA = 3 cm2 .......(By rounding off to one significant figure)
∴ Area, A = A ± ΔA = (164 ± 3) cm2.

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science where precise measurements of length, time, mass etc. are needed. Also, wherever you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
