Answer:

0.595

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percent error is as follows

Actual area is

= (720-yd × 120-yd)

= 86,400 square yards.

Estimated area is

= (700-yd × 50-yd)

= 35,000 square yards

Now

Error = (86,400 - 35,000)

= 51,400 square yards

Percent error is

= 51,400 ÷ 86,400

= 0.595
