Question

An angle measuring 60 degrees is measured as 62 degrees. What is the percentage error correct to 3 significant figures?
3.23%
3.33%
37.2%
35.5%

Answer 1

Answer:3.33%

easy

Step-by-step explanation:

A = true value = 60

B = estimated or measured value = 62

C = percent error

C = ( |A-B|/A ) * 100%

C = ( |60-62|/60 ) * 100%

C = (2/60)*100%

C = 0.0333*100%

C = 3.33%
