Most of the original data used in engineering calculations do not have accuracy better than one percent. c. Historically slide rules could not handle more than three significant figures. d. Telephone systems designed by engineers have area codes consisting of three figures

Answer 1

The answer is "Option b".

Explanation:

In the calculation of engineering or modeling, it is used to assess its necessary system, that performance, and also used to evaluate the distribution network adjustments, which is used to accommodate the slew of other distribution network adjustments, that's why except "choice b" all were incorrect.
