Measuring Size

The thickness...

Question

The thickness of a glass plate is measured to be 2.17 mm, 2.17 mm and 2.18 mm at three different places. Find the average thickness of the plate from this data.

Open in App

Solution

We know that, average thickness = $\frac{2.17 + 2.17 + 2.18}{3}$

= 2.1733 mm

Rounded off to 3 significant digits, Average thickness = 2.17 mm
