something in your hand instead of on a balanceyou feel hot and say “my temperature must be 38 degrees” or you look at a room and say that you estimate its area as 10+8 feetbut in many situations in

wants to inform people that its snowing heavilybit is necessary to depend on estimateschis estimate is quite exactdit is likely that he has measured the level of the snow43the writer thinks that depending on estimates _amay save us both time and moneybmay bring us a sense of safetycdoes not always keep us out of dangerdis practical but dangerouscif you cant catch the bad guy, its game
