Eric measured the height of a window frame as 5.43 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet. What is the percentage of error in Eric's measurement?

Respuesta :

he was off by 9.5%, you just divide 5.43 by 6 then subtract that answer from 1 and you get your percentage

Answer:

9.5% is the percentage error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Eric measured the height of a window frame as 5.43 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet.

Mistake in measurement = [tex]6-5,43 = 0.57'[/tex]

Relative error = [tex]\frac{0.57}{6} =0.095[/tex]

Percentage of error in measurement = [tex]\frac{0.57}{6} (100) \\=9.5%[/tex]

9.5% is the answer
