Answer:
9.6 %
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: How to define percent error ? </u>
⇒ % error is the difference between a measured value and the known or accepted value
⇒Percent error is calculated using the following formula:
⇒%error = | Experimental value-theoretical value/theoretical value | x100%
⇔ this can be written as well as : error = (| Experimental value/ theoretical value | - | Theoretical value / Theoretical value | ) x100%
<u>Step 2: Calculate % error</u>
In this case, this means :
%error = ( |(4.45 cm - 4.06cm ) / 4.06cm | ) x100%
%error = 0.096 x100%
%error =9.6 %
