Answer:
56.8cm³
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Measured volume = 54.5cm³
Percentage error = 4.25%
Unknown:
Actual volume of the cylinder = ?
Solution:
The percentage error shows the amount of error introduced into a measurement.
We need to find out this amount of error from the data given.
Error = Percentage error x measured volume
Error = x 54.5 = ±2.32cm³
Since the error introduced = 2.32cm³
Actual volume of cylinder = measured volume ± Error
Since the percentage error quoted as higher 4.25%;
Actual volume = 54.5cm³ + 2.32cm³ = 56.8cm³
