Answer:
31.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem
a² + b² = c²
Plug in the knowns
a² + 23² = 39²
Subtract 23² from both sides
a² = 39² - 23²
a² = 1521 - 529
a² = 992
Take the square root of both sides
a = 31.496031496
Rounded
a = 31.5 ft
The equation to find percent error is:
percent error=(experimental-theoretical)/theoretical *100
So, (115-82.5)/82.5=0.393939*100
39.3939%, or 39.94%
Hope this helps!!
