Answer:

Percent Error = -2.8%


Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is found by the formula:

Percent error = [tex]\frac{Recorded-Original}{Original}*100[/tex]

  • Recorded value is 44.25 m
  • Original value is 45.5 m

Putting it in the formula, we get:

[tex]\frac{Recorded-Original}{Original}*100\\=\frac{44.25-45.5}{45.5}*100\\=-2.75[/tex]

Rounded to nearest tenth of a percent: -2.8%
