The height of a tree is 170m the lower and upper bound of it's height is ​

9514 1404 393

  [165, 175) meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule with respect to questions like this is that the bounds are ±1/2 of the place value of the least-significant digit. Here, the integer portion of the number has trailing zeros, and there is no decimal point or fractional part. Ordinarily, this combination of characteristics would signal that the trailing zeros are not significant, so the only significant digits are 1 and 7. The place value of the least significant digit is 10, so the bounds on the measurement are this number ±1/2(10) = ±5.

Of course, 175 rounds up to 180, so the upper bound is a limit, rather than an actual value. The height should be interpreted in this context as ...

  165 m ≤ height < 175 m

The lower and upper bounds are 165 m and 175 m, respectively.

Additional comment

The best way to avoid any ambiguity as to whether trailing zeros are significant is to use scientific notation. If a zero in the ones place is significant, that is conventionally indicated by a decimal point: "170.". If scientific notation is used, the number would be reported as 1.70×10² to indicate the trailing zero is significant.

For reference, Earth's tallest tree is a redwood just under 116 meters high.

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
