Question

To create a "3 Point Center Rectangle", you first click at the center point, then click at the midpoint of one edge of the rectangle, and then click to set the height of the rectangle.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

The given method for creating a '3 Point Center Rectangle' is false. The correct procedure in CAD programs involves two clicks: one for the center, and one for defining the rectangle's dimensions, not three separate points. Precision in measurement is critical and in this example, it results in a width of 1.25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a '3 Point Center Rectangle', the description given in the question is false. The process described does not accurately reflect how a 3 Point Center Rectangle is typically created in most computer-aided design (CAD) programs. Instead, the correct method involves first clicking at the center point, then clicking at a corner point to define the length and width simultaneously. The third click is usually not required unless the program is set to specify additional properties, such as height in a 3D environment. When measuring and reporting the rectangle's dimensions with significant figures, if the rectangle is at least 1.0 cm but not 2.0 cm wide, and past the second tick mark but before the third, with each tick representing 0.1, we estimate the next place based on the observable data, which leads to a measurement of 1.25 cm reported to three significant figures.
