Answer:

.5 m

Explanation:

You can use maximum possible error to calculate absolute error

Maximum possible error of is half the unit of measure

This means it is ±0.5 meters

In this case, you find the place value the measurement 10 meters is rounded to .This measurement was measured to the nearest meter, thus the measuring unit is 1 meter.

Here you use the maximum possible error as the absolute error.

This means the measurement is 10 ± .5
