The ideal length of a particular metal rod is 25.5 cm. The measured length may vary from the ideal length by at most 0.025 cm. Find the
range of acceptable lengths for the rod.

Option: D is the correct answer.

D) 20.455 <= X <= 20.545

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given The ideal length of a particular metal rod is 20.5 cm.

It is given that:

The measured length may vary from the ideal length by at most 0.045 cm.

By atmost we mean either less than or equal to that amount but not more than that.

It means that:

|X-20.5|≤ 0.045

⇒  -0.045  ≤ X-20.5 ≤ 0.045

⇒    -0.045+20.5 ≤ X ≤ 20+0.045

⇒   20.455 ≤ X ≤ 20.545.

Hope this helped! <3
