To calculate the percent error of a measurement, we typically need to know the true or accepted value of the measurement. The formula for percent error is:

\[
\text{Percent Error} = \left(\frac{|\text{True Value} - \text{Measured Value}|}{\text{True Value}}\right) \times 100
\]

Since the true value is not given in your question, I cannot calculate a specific percent error for the measurement of 7 cm. However, I can guide you through the process if you provide the true value.

For example, if the true value was 10 cm, the percent error would be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Percent Error} = \left(\frac{|10 - 7|}{10}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{3}{10}\right) \times 100 = 30\%
\]

Please provide the true value for an accurate calculation. Without it, we cannot determine the percent error from the options given (7%, 1%, 7.14%, 70%).
