Question

Which of the following method gives the most accurate length of line segments?

• A. Using a ruler
• B. Using a compass
• C. Using a divider and a ruler
• D. Observing the line segment and guessing the length

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Using a divider and a ruler

We can't measure length using a compass. By guessing, the length measured will be less accurate. By using ruler we can measure, but the accuracy decreases if the angle at which it is viewed is not appropriate. By using the divider and a ruler, we can measure the length more accurately.
