Question
ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in ? nding the area of rectangle B. The rectangles are similar.
Step 1
The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding side lengths of the two rectangles. Given that the side lengths are 6 and 18, the scale factor is $\frac{6}{18}$. Show more…

The second moment of area of a rectangle is given by $I=\left(b l^{3}\right) / 3$. If $b$ and $l$ are measured as $40 \mathrm{~mm}$ and $90 \mathrm{~mm}$ respectively and the measurement errors are $-5 \mathrm{~mm}$ in $b$ and $+8 \mathrm{~mm}$ in $l$, find the approximate error in the calculated value of $I$,
Area The area of the shaded rectangle in the figure is $A=l h$. The possible errors in the length and height are $\Delta l$ and $\Delta h$, respectively. Find $d A$ and identify the regions in the figure whose areas are given by the terms of $d A$. What region represents the difference between $\Delta A$ and $d A$ ?
