To determine which measurement (length, breadth, or thickness) is the most accurate, we can calculate the percentage error for each measurement based on their least counts. Here’s how to do it step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the Measurements and Their Least Counts - Length (L) = 125.5 cm, Least Count (LC) = 0.1 cm - Breadth (B) = 5.0 cm, Least Count (LC) = 0.1 cm - Thickness (T) = 0.32 cm, Least Count (LC) = 0.01 cm ### Step 2: Calculate the Percentage Error for Each Measurement ...
