Adrian measured a line to be 13.8 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 13.1
inches, then what was the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a
percent?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Measured length of a line = 13.8 inches

Actual length of the line = 13.1  inches

We need to find the percent error of the measurement. We can find it as follows :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{|measured-actual|}{actual}\times 100\\\\\%=\dfrac{13.8-13.1}{13.1}\times 100\\\\\%=5.34\%[/tex]

So, the required percentage is equal to 5.34%.
