Which is not true about an order-of-magnitude estimation?
(a) It gives you a rough idea of the answer.
(b) It can be done by keeping only one significant figure.
(c) It can be used to check if an exact calculation is
(d)It may require making some reasonable assumptions in order to calculate the answer.
It will always be accurate to at least two significant figure
What is the percent error in the accuracy in the measured volume of the cube? Use the calculated value as the expected value. Round your answer to 2 digits.
