The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.

How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (m) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 46 | +0.28000 |
| 1 decimal | 45.7 | −0.02000 |
| 2 decimals | 45.72 | exact |
