There was 33.3% error in her calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Approx value thought by Lauren = 100

Exact value counted = 75

Percent error = \frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100

Percent\ error=\frac{|100-75|}{75}*100\\\\Percent\ error=\frac{|25|}{75}*100\\\\Percent\ error=\frac{2500}{75}\\\\Percent\ error=33.33\%

Rounding off to nearest tenth;

Percent error = 33.3%

There was 33.3% error in her calculation.

The total area of the composite figure is 176 ft

<h3>How to find the area of a composite figure?</h3>

The area of a composite figure can be found as follows;

Therefore,

Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle

area of rectangle = lw

where

  • l = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

area of a rectangle = 16 × 8

area of a rectangle = 128 ft²

area of triangle = 1 / 2 bh

where

  • b = base
  • h = height

Therefore,

area of triangle = 1 / 2 × 12 × 8

area of triangle = 48 ft²

Total area of the composite figure = 48 + 128 = 176 ft
