The edge of a cube was found to be 30 cm with a possible error in measurement of 0.1 cm . Use differentials to estimate the maximum possible error, relative error, and percentage error in computing (a) the volume of the cube and (b) the surface area of the cube.

Area The measurements of the base and altitude of a triangle are found to be 36 and 50 centimeters, respectively. The possible error in each measurement is 0.25 centimeter. (a) Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error in computing the area of the triangle. (b) Approximate the percent error in computing the area of the triangle.
