Mensuration
Upper and Lower Bounds (Approximations)
Consider two quantities A and B
Addition: Subtraction
Upper bound = Max A + Max B Upper bound = Max A Min B
Lower bound = Min A + Min B Lower bound = Min A - Max B
Multiplication: Division
Upper bound = Max A Max B Upper bound = Max A Min B
Lower bound = Min A Min B Lower bound = Min A Max B
