Jocelyn estimates that a piece of wood measures 5.5 cm, if it actually measures 5.62 cm, what is the percent error of Jocelyns estimate
Answer:
\(2.181\rm cm\) is the percent error Jocelyn estimate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
A piece of wood measures (Exact value)=\(5.5\rm cm\)
If it actually measures(Approximate value)=\(5.62\rm cm\)
percentage error={(approximate value-exact value)/exact value}\(\times 100\)
percentage error=\((\frac{5.62-5.5}{5.5})\times100\)
percentage error=\(2.181\rm cm\)
Hence,\(2.181\rm cm\) is the percent error Jocelyn estimate.
