Answer to Question #292233 in Physics for Shady

Question

If the relative error is measuring an area of 320 m² was 0.03, calculate the absolute error for that Measurement

Answer 1

Given:

$A=320\:\rm m^2$

$\epsilon=0.03$

The absolute error for that measurement of an area

$$\Delta A=A\epsilon=\rm 320\: m^2*0.03=9.6\: m^2$$
