Making measurements and analysing data

A student measures the length and width of a rectangular glass slide. The recorded dimensions are:

\text{length} = 52 \pm 2\text{ mm}

\text{width} = 28 \pm 3\text{ mm}

Which of the following is the best estimate for the area of the glass slide?

$1500 \pm 6\text{ mm}^2$

$1456 \pm 212\text{ mm}^2$

$1500 \pm 5\text{ mm}^2$

$1500 \pm 200\text{ mm}^2$
