The possible error involved in measuring each dimension of a right circular cylinder is ±0.05 centimeter. The radius is 3 centimeters and the height is 10 centimeters. Approximate the propagated error and the relative error in the calculated volume of the cylinder.
Added by Travis A.
Step 1
First, we need to know the formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder, which is V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Show more…

The height and radius of a right circular cylinder are approximately 10 inches and 3 inches, respectively. The possible error in the measurement of the height is ± 0.02 inches and in the measurement of the radius is ± 0.01 inches. Use the total differential to estimate the relative error in the calculated volume of the cylinder.
