Question
**Problem Description:**

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 72 cm with a possible error of 0.5 cm. Use linear approximation to estimate the maximum error in the calculated surface area.

**Response:**

First Attempt: 
\[
\frac{70}{\pi} \text{ cm}^2 
\]
**Note:** This attempt is marked incorrect with the comment "syntax incomplete."

**Next Task:**

Estimate the relative error in the calculated surface area.

**Second Attempt:**
\[
\frac{1}{70}
\]
**Note:** This attempt is also marked incorrect.

---

The problem involves using linear approximation to estimate errors associated with measurements and calculations of surface area based on a sphere's circumference. The initial answer given is incorrect due to syntax issues, and the subsequent calculation for relative error is also not accepted.
