Question

Kareem estimated the height of his office building to be 35 ft . The actual height of his office building is 38 ft. Find the absolute error and the percent error of Kareem's estimate. If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

the absolute error is 3 ft and percent error of Tony's estimate is 789.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tony estimated the height of his office building to be 45ft. The actual height of his office building is 41ft.

Now, to find the absolute error and the percent error of Tony's estimate.

The height of his office building = 45ft.

The actual height of his office building = 41 ft.

So, to get the absolute error:

The height of his office building - the actual height of his office building

38ft-35ft

=3ft

The absolute error = 3ft.

Now, to get the percent error of Tony's estimate:

3

------   x    100

38

=7.894x100

=789.4

789.4%

Therefore, the absolute error is 3 ft and percent error of Tony's estimate is 789.4%.
