The required percentage error when estimating the height of the building is 3.84%.
<h3>How to calculate the percent error?</h3>Suppose the actual value and the estimated values after the measurement are obtained. Then we have:
Error = Actual value - Estimated value
Given that,
An estimate of the height, H meters, of a tall building can be found using the formula :
H = 3f + 15
where the building is f floors high.
f = 85
The real height of the building is 260 m.
H = 3f + 15
Put f = 85 in the above formula
H = 3(85) + 15
H = 270 m
Error,
So, the required percentage error is 3.84%.

Answer:
26 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Counting grid squares on the graph, we see that segment AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 2 and 3. Its length is ...
AB = √(2²+3²) = √13
We can also see that the adjacent longer sides are twice this length, each being the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 6 wide and 4 high.
AC = √(6² +4²) = √52 = 2√13
Then the area is ...
A = LW
A = (2√13)(√13) = 2·13 = 26 . . . square units
