Question

find the percent error of the measurement 4 cm

Answers

GPT 3.5
To find the percent error, we need to compare the measured value with the actual value. Let's assume the actual value of the measurement is 4.5 cm.

The measured value is 4 cm, and the actual value is 4.5 cm.

The error is the absolute difference between the measured and actual values:
Error = |4 cm - 4.5 cm| = 0.5 cm

To calculate the percent error, we use the formula:
Percent Error = (Error / Actual Value) * 100

Substitute in the values:
Percent Error = (0.5 cm / 4.5 cm) * 100 = 11.11%

Therefore, the percent error of the measurement 4 cm compared to the actual value of 4.5 cm is 11.11%.
