Question

1. measure each of the following dimensions using a unit with the appropriate prefix.

The height of a letter "I" is very small. A suitable unit with prefix could be millimeters (mm). 1 mm = 10^{- 3}m.

Step2: Consider width of table

The width of a table is likely to be a few meters. A suitable unit could be centimeters (cm) or meters (m). If it's a small - scale table in a book example, centimeters are more appropriate. 1 cm=10^{-2}m.

Answer:

a. millimeters (mm)
