Question

c) What is the percent error for the area of a rectangle of dimensions 2.52 cm by 1.59 cm if the dimensions were rounded to one significant figure before the area was calculated? Hint: Calculate the area first with the non-rounded numbers (this is the correct way to do this, so the answer here is the \"theoretical\" ) and then the area with the rounded numbers before calculating the percent error using those numbers. Percent error calculation is: % Error = \frac{Experimental value - Theoretical value}{Theoretical value} \times 100%
