Answer:
The percentage error of measurement is 5.63 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The measure length of the fence = 150 feet
The actual length of the fence = 142 feet
Let the percentage error in measurement = x
So, x = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm measured value - \textrm actual value}{\textrm actual value}[/tex] ×100
Or, x = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm 150 - 142}{142}[/tex] ×100
or, x = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm 8}{142}[/tex] ×100
or, x = 5.63 %
Hence The percentage error of measurement is 5.63 % Answer
