No

Yes

Not enough information

The design instructions for the width of two connecting parts is as follows:

Part \(A~25.7mm\)

Part \(B~25.2mm\)

Part \(B\) is to fit into Part \(A\)

The manufacturing process for Part \(A\) can guarantee a width of \(25.7 ± 0.4mm\).

The manufacturing process for Part \(B\) can guarantee a width of \(25.2 ± 0.3mm\).

Comment on the compatibility of these parts given this information.

The design instructions for the width of two connecting parts is as follows.

Part \(C~ 39.2 mm\)

Part \(D~38.5 mm\)

Part \(D\) is to fit into Part \(C\)

The manufacturing process for Part \(C\) can guarantee a width of \(39.2 + 0.4mm\) .

The manufacturing process for Part \(D\) can guarantee a width of \(38.5 + 0.2mm\) .
