Answer:

Percent error is approx. 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

So to do this you need to know the formula for percent error, which is

percent error = l measured - theoretical / theoretical l * 100%

With this just plug in 18 (real) and 14 (measured).

percent error = l 14 - 18 / 18 l * 100%

percent error = l -4 / 18 l *100%

percent error = l -2/9 l *100%

You then do absolute value because the percent error must be positive not negative! So -2/9 becomes 2/9. You then divide 2/9 to get approx. 0.22... and you muliply by 100% to get 22%.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

a) 3

b) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point P is(3,4)

which means that 3 is the point P's x- coordinate and 4 is it's y-coordinate

Because we use the axes as our reference point when plotting points,

the distance of P from x-axis and y-axis would be the point itself.
