Answer :
The accuracy in the measurement is of 0.5 cm
What is the accuracy of a measurement of 72 centimeters?
We can define the accuracy as the "amount of error" that we can expect from a measure of 72 cm.
We would round that measure in the following way:
72.4 cm ---> 72cm
71.5cm --- 72cm
So, you need to look at the next number and check if it is lower or larger than 5 and then round.
Then we can say that the accuracy of this measurement is within 0.5cm (because if we had the measure 72.5cm we would had a measure of 73cm).
Usually in any measurement we define that the error (or accuracy) is within half of the next decimal (to the right) of the measure.
