Study Notes
Measuring Tools and Processes
- Direct Measurement: This method involves directly measuring the target quantity using a single measuring tool. For example, using a ruler to measure the length of a piece of paper.
- Indirect Measurement: This method involves calculating the target quantify using multiple measurements and a formula. For example, measuring the area of a rectangle by measuring its length and width.
- Single Measuring Tool vs Multiple Tools: Using a single measuring tool eliminates the need to switch between tools and ensures consistency. Using multiple tools can improve accuracy by utilizing specialized tools for specific aspects of measurement.
- One vs Multiple Measurement Processes: A single process can result in faster measurement, whereas multiple processes offer a chance to check for accuracy and achieve a more specific result.
