a basketball court is 94 ft long and 50 ft wide Ryan used long steps to estimate the length of the Court as 93 ft and a width as 48 what is the percent error of Ryan's measure area round to your nearest hundred

Respuesta :

5.02%

Explanation:

Percentage error formula = |(approximate value - Exact value)|/(exact value) × 100

Area of the court = length × width

length = 94 ft

width = 50 ft

Exact area = 94ft × 50 ft

Exact area = 4700 ft²

length = 93 ft

width = 48 ft

Approximate area = 93 ft × 48 ft

Approximate area = 4464 ft²

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{percent error = }\frac{|4464\text{ - 4700|}}{4700}\times\text{ 100} \\ \text{percent error = }\frac{|-236|}{4700}\times100 \\ \text{percent error = }\frac{236}{4700}\times100 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Percent error = }0.0502\text{ }\times\text{ 100} \\ \text{Percent error = 5.02\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]
