Every measurement is limited by the precision of the measurement
device. Care should be taken in recording measurements. To a scientist, a measurement
of "2.3 cm" has a different meaning
than a measurement of "2.30 cm" even
though the value of the measurement is exactly the same. The measurements 2.3
cm and 2.30 cm reflect the limitations of the measuring device.
