Calculate the percent errorin a length measurementof 4.45cm if the correct value is 4.06

9.6 %

Explanation:

Step 1: How to define  percent error ?

⇒ % error is the difference between a measured value and the known or accepted value

⇒Percent error is calculated using the following formula:

⇒%error  =  | Experimental value-theoretical value/theoretical value |  x100%

⇔ this can be written as well as : error = (| Experimental value/ theoretical value | - | Theoretical value / Theoretical value | ) x100%

Step 2: Calculate % error

In this case, this means :

%error = ( |(4.45 cm - 4.06cm ) / 4.06cm | ) x100%

%error = 0.096 x100%

%error =9.6 %
