the claim

Mount Everest's height was reported as 29,002 feet instead of 29,000 so it would not look like an estimate.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Mount Everest's height was reported as 29,002 feet instead of 29,000 so it would not look like an estimate?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on Mount Everest states that Peak XV was calculated at exactly 29,000 ft but publicly declared as 29,002 ft to avoid the impression that 29,000 ft was merely a rounded estimate. No other retrieved item addresses the reported height figure.
