1 EXAMPLE 2 Measuring in Centimeters Find the length of the line segment to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

2 EXAMPLE 2 Measuring in Centimeters Find the length of the line segment to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

3 EXAMPLE 2 Measuring in Centimeters Find the length of the line segment to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. The length of the line segment is about 6.7 centimeters. ANSWER

4 EXAMPLE 3 Measuring in Meters Find the length of the triceratops horn to the nearest hundredth of a meter. Dinosaurs

5 Measuring in Meters EXAMPLE 3 The length of the horn is about 25 centimeters. Because 1 centimeter is 1 hundredth of a meter, 25 centimeters is 25 hundredths of a meter. Find the length of the triceratops horn to the nearest hundredth of a meter. Dinosaurs SOLUTION

6 Measuring in Meters The length of the triceratops’ horn is about 0.25 meter. EXAMPLE 3 The length of the horn is about 25 centimeters. Because 1 centimeter is 1 hundredth of a meter, 25 centimeters is 25 hundredths of a meter. Find the length of the triceratops horn to the nearest hundredth of a meter. Dinosaurs SOLUTION ANSWER
