Question

dante is estimating the length of a room in his house. the actual length of the room is 12 m. dantes estimate is 13 m. find the absolute error and the percent error of dantes estimate. if necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth. absolute error = \\(\square\\) m percent error = \\(\square\\) %

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate absolute error

Absolute error = $| \text{Estimated Value} - \text{Actual Value} | = |13 - 12| = 1$

Step2: Calculate percent error

Percent error = $\frac{\text{Absolute Error}}{\text{Actual Value}} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{12} \times 100\% \approx 8.3\%$

Answer:

absolute error = 1 m
percent error = 8.3 %
