That is certainly confusing, what type of math is that?
The percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is 18.6%
<h3>Calculating percent error</h3>
The formula for calculating the percent error is expressed as:
%error = actual - measure/actual * 100
Given the following
actual length = 13.4 in
Measured =10.9in
Substitute
%error = 13.4-10.9/13.4 * 100
%error = 2.5/13.4 * 100
%error = 18.65%
Hence the percent error of the measurement, to the nearest tenth of a percent is 18.6%

Answer: 274/3 and 137 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Total fence used: 548 ft
So, perimeter will be 548 ft, including the fence that divides the land.
Consider the playground the drawing below.
__________x________
| |
| | y
| |
|__________________|
Let's consider that the playground is going to be divided parallel to y (and there's no problem, because if you choose parallel to x, the area will be the same). So, the perimeter (the sum of all sides) will be:
2x + 3y = 548
And the area
A = x.y
Isolating x, we have:
x = (548 - 3y)/2
Substituting the x in the Area equation:
A = (548 - 3y)/2 . y = 548y - 3y²/2 = 274y - 3/2y²
A = 274y - 3/2y²
So, it's a quadratic function. And, to find out the maximum area that the playground can have, we need to find the y-vertex of the parabola: y-vertex = Δ/4a
a = -3/2 b = 274 c = 0
Δ = 274² - 4.(-3/2).0 = 274² = 75076
Amax = -Δ/4a = -75076/4.(-3/2) = 75076/6 = 12512.7 ft²
y = -b/2a = -274/2.(-3/2) = 274/3 ft
x = (548 - 3y)/2 = (548 - 3.274/3)/2 = 274/2 = 137 ft
The answer is 104 because both is positive when you add it it both it will be positive.
It's a because the form is y-y1=m(x-x1) and of you put the given information in it will be y+1=-(x+10)
