Answer

1.83 m, 1.73 m, 0.10 m

Work Step by Step

The upper limit is the measurement + tolerance, that is, $$ 1.78 +0.05=1.83 \ m .$$ The lower limit is the measurement - tolerance, that is, $$ 1.78 -0.05=1.73 \ m .$$ The tolerance interval = upper limit-lower limit, that is, $$ 1.83 \ m-1.73 \ m=0.10 \ m .$$
