What is length?
• Length is the distance from one point to another
• Basic unit of length in the SI system is the meter (m)– Smaller objects measured in
centimeters (cm) or millimeters (mm)

What is accuracy?
When you get the correct answer.
Example: You measure the density of water and you get the published value of 1.0 g/mL
![Page 20: Measurement-A Common Language Length The metric system was invented in 1790 Invented by French scientists.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649f4f5503460f94c7053d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is precision?
• When you measure multiple times and your answers are all very similar.
• Example: consistently hitting the same part of the backboard when shooting foul shots
![Page 21: Measurement-A Common Language Length The metric system was invented in 1790 Invented by French scientists.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649f4f5503460f94c7053d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Can you be both precise accurate?
• Yes, by getting the correct answer many times in a row.
• Analogy: consistently making foul shots
