Question

19. Find the error percent in taking the area of a field which is 50 m wide and 70 m
as long as 3800 m.​

Answer 1

Answer: 8.57%

Explanation: To find the area first we must multiply Length x Width.

So 70 x 50 = 3,500.

But the given area is 3,800 so we must subtract 3,500 from 3,800.

So 3,500 - 3,800 = 300

They have a 300 measurement difference so we divide that from 3,500 times 100% to find the percentage of difference.

First we must divide the 300 by 3,500.

(300/3,500)x100% = 8.57%
