In the image above the ruler is measuring in centimeters. The blue cylinder falls somewhere between 2.7cm and 2.8cm according to the ruler. Since we can estimate the last digit I would say that the length of the cylinder is 2.76cm. Since I am estimating any number 2.72cm or 2.78cm could also be correct.

Why would 2.755 not be a correct measurement according to estimating the last digit?

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Resolution is the smallest unit of measurement that can be measured by a measuring instrument. Each point on the ruler is 0.1 cm and the difference between any two points, about 0.01 cm cam be measured. The minimum measurement (resolution) that can be measured by the ruler is 0.01 cm (two decimals), therefore it cannot measure up to three decimal places such as numbers like 2.755.
