4. B) By using a diamond-tipped stylus
to detect small bumps and dips
5. C) They are fast, non-contact, and

12. C) Surface texture
13. A dimension is a type of property or
characteristic of something, often used
in the context of size, length, width, or
depth. A measurement is the numerical
value obtained by measuring a
dimension or property.
14. Tolerance refers to the allowed
variation or deviation from a specified
dimension. Allowance is the planned,
intentional difference between mating
parts to achieve a desired fit, and
Clearance is the actual gap or space
between those mating parts after
assembly.
