Math unit11 units of measurement
This document contains two presentations about units of measurement. The first presentation defines various units used to measure quantities like length, mass, and volume. It also provides examples of converting between units like km, m, cm, and mm. The second presentation discusses upper and lower measurement bounds, explaining that measurements have some uncertainty and provide a range rather than an exact value. It gives an example, stating that a measurement of 12.7cm would have a lower bound of 12.65cm and upper bound of 12.75cm.
