Discussion
1. Why is it important to take more than 1 reading?
It is to improve accuracy. It is risky to rely on one answer because that answer maybe 0.1 more or less than it should be.

Discussion
2. How do you reduce errors?
When taking measurements, makes sure the eye is place in front of the object and not from the side.
![Page 33: Practical #2: Measurements](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102816/558e593a1a28ab546e8b4787/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Discussion2. How do you reduce errors?
When recording measurements, always take note of the zero error. Tools such as micrometer often give an error of 0.01 mm so that value must be subtracted from the reading before doing calculations.

Discussion
2. How do you reduce errors?
Taking measurements repeatedly to obtain an average value can reduce the uncertainty.
