1. Gisselle and KC are acrobats. Gisselle is 165 + 2 cm tall, and KC is 135 +- 3 cm tall. If KC stands on top of
Gisselle's head, how far is her head above the ground?
2. Kavin wants to calculate the volume of his pool, so that he will knows how much water he'll need to fill it. He
measures the length, width, and height: L = 6.30 + 0.14 meters, width W = 4.10 + 0.08 meters and depth
D = 3.54 + 0.11 meters. To calculate the volume, he must multiplies together the length, width and depth.
3. Supposed you have pool and it is a perfect cube. You measured the length of one side to be L = 8.03 + 0.25
meters. What would be the volume of your pool? Hint: The formula to get the volume of a square is V= s 3
