Answer:

(a) Approximate the percent error in computing the area of the circle: 4.5%

(b) Estimate the maximum allowable percent error in measuring the circumference if the error in computing the area cannot exceed 3%: 0.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

First we need to calculate the radius from the circumference:

c=2\pi r\\r=\frac{c}{2\pi } \\c=8.9 cm

I leave only one decimal as we need to keep significative figures

Now we proceed to calculate the error for the radius:

\Delta r=\frac{dt}{dc} \Delta c\\\\\frac{dt}{dc} =    \frac{1}{2 \pi } \\\\\Delta r=\frac{1}{2 \pi } (1.2)\\\\\Delta r= 0.2 cm

r = 8.9 \pm 0.2 cm

Again only one decimal because the significative figures

Now that we have the radius, we can calculate the area and the error:

A=\pi r^{2}\\A=249 cm^{2}

Then we calculate the error:

\Delta A= (\frac{dA}{dr} ) \Delta r\\\\\Delta A= 2\pi r \Delta r\\\\\Delta A= 11.2 cm^{2}

A=249 \pm 11.2 cm^{2}

Now we proceed to calculate the percent error:

\%e =\frac{\Delta A}{A} *100\\\\\%e =\frac{11.2}{249} *100\\\\\%e =4.5\%

(b)

With the previous values and equations, now we set our error in 3%, so we just go back changing the values:

\%e =\frac{\Delta A}{A} *100\\\\3\%=\frac{\Delta A}{249} *100\\\\\Delta A =7.5 cm^{2}

Now we calculate the error for the radius:

\Delta r= \frac{\Delta A}{2 \pi r}\\\\\Delta r= \frac{7.5}{2 \pi 8.9}\\\\\Delta r= 0.1 cm

Now we proceed with the error for the circumference:

\Delta c= \frac{\Delta r}{\frac{1}{2\pi }} = 2\pi \Delta r\\\\\Delta c= 2\pi 0.1\\\\\Delta c= 0.6 cm

The diameter of a sphere is 4 centimeters.
ELEN [110]
The volume of a sphere refers to the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a sphere. The volume of a sphere can be found or calculate by using the formula V=4/3πr^3, where r represents the radius of the figure.

In this exercise is given that a sphere has a radius of 4 centimeters and it is asked to find its volume and use 3.14 as the value of π or pi. The first step would be substitute the values into the previous mention formula.

V=4/3πr^3
V=4/3(3.14)(4 cm)^3
V=4/3)(3.14)(64 cm^3)
V=267.9 cm^3
The volume of the sphere is 267.9 cubic centimeters.
