Diego measured the length of a pen to be 22 cm. The actual length of the pen is 23 cm. Which of these is closest to the percent error for Diego's measurement? WITH EXPLANATION please and thank you :)

Answer 1

Answer:

4.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The measured length of a pen = 22 cm

Actual length of the pen = 23 cm

We need to find the percent error for Diego's measurement. It can be calculated as follows :

$\%=\dfrac{23-22}{23}\times 100\\\\=4.34\%$

So, the required percentage is 4.34%.
