Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 28.57 %

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\%$

actual measurement = 3.5 m

error = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{1}{3.5} \times 100 \\ = 28.571428...$

We have the final answer as

28.57 %
