Answer: 16.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

estimated circumfrence of the earth = 250,000 stadia.

Actual value = 46,620km

expected Value = 40,030.3km

solution:

percentage error = actual value – expected value/ expected value * 100

= 46,620 – 40,030.3 / 40,030.3 * 100

= 6589.7 / 40,030.3 * 100

= 0.16462 * 100

= 16.5%

percentage error is 16.5%
