To calculate the percent error, we need to find the difference between Teresa's estimate and the actual height, and then divide that difference by the actual height.
Difference = Actual height - Teresa's estimate
Difference = 16 ft - 18 ft = -2 ft
Now, divide the difference by the actual height and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
Percent error = (Difference / Actual height) * 100
Percent error = (-2 ft / 16 ft) * 100
Percent error = -12.5%
Therefore, Teresa's percent error is -12.5%.

Ok I’m gonna give you guys my explanation but the grammar is gonna be bad so no teach can catch me doing this. Anyway here is my explanation:
Teresa’s percent error in her estimation of the giraffe's height is 12.5 %.
Aosdjflksdjfklsdjflksdjfklsdjflksdjf To calculate sdfsdfsfsd Teresa's percent error in estimating the height of a giraffe, we first identified the estimated height, 18 feet, and the actual height, 16 feet and stuff. Then I found the difference between the estimated yeah bro and actual values sdfsdfsdfs, which is 2 feetsdfsdfsdf. Next I dividedsdfsdfsdfsdf the absolute difference, 2 feet, with the actual value, totally 16 feet, and got yeah sure 0.125. And then I did stuff blah blah blah 😒 I multiplied 0.125 with 100, because the answer has to be a percentage, to get 12.5%. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Sorry if this is confusing but I can’t risk getting caught also I live in Colorado just so you know.
