Answer:
Error = 1.167 feet
Percentage error = 0.3242%
Step-by-step explanation:
The original length of the soccer field = 120 yards long
Converting to feet
1 yard = 3 feet
120 yards = x
Cross Multiply
x = 120 × 3 feet
x = 360 feet
Measured length:
Han measures the length of the field using a 30-foot-long tape measure and gets a measurement of 358 feet, 10 inches.
We convert 10 inches to feet
1 inch = 0.0833 feet
10 inches = x feet
Cross Multiply
x = 10 × 0.0833 feet
x = 0.833 feet
The measured length = 358 feet + 0.833 feet
= 358.833 feet
The Error is calculated as:
|Measured length - Original Length)
= 360 feet - 358.833 feet
= 1.167 feet
Percentage Error
= Error/Original Length × 100
= 1.167/360 × 100
= 0.3241666667%
Approximately = 0.3242%
